Of the two hydroxy organic compounds ROH and R'OH, the first one is basic and the other is acidic in behaviour. How is R differennt from R'?

Answer»

Solution :When R=alkyl, ROH behaves as a weak Bronsted base since it ACCEPTS a PROTON from strong acids such as HCl, `H_(2)SO_(4)`, ETC.

However, when R'=aryl, R'OH behaves, as a weak Bronsted acid since it donates a proton to strong bases such as Na, NaOH, etc.
`UNDERSET("Bronsted acid")(R'-O-H)+NaOH to R'-O^(-)Na^(+)+H_(2)O`

Of the two bromoderivatives C_(6)H_(5)CH(CH_(3))Br and C_(6)H_(5)CH(C_(6)H_(5))Br, which one is more reactive in S_(N)1 substitution reaction and why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :In `S_(N)1` reaction, reactivity depends upon the stability of the intermediate carbocation. Thus,

The carbocation (II) DERIVED from `C_(6)H_(5)CH(C_(6)H_(5))Br` is stabilized by +R-effect of the two `C_(6)H_(5)` groups the carbocation (I) derived from `C_(6)H_(5)CH(CH_(3))Br` is stabilized by +R-effect of one `C_(6)H_(5)` group and +I-effect of the `CH_(3)` group. since +R-effect is much STRONGER than +I-effect, therefore, carbocation (II) is more stable than carbocation (I). thus, `C_(6)H_(5)CH(C_(6)H_(5))Br` is more reactive than `C_(6)H_(5)CH(C_(6)H_(5))Br` is more reactive than `C_(6)H_(5)CH(CH_(3))Br` in `S_(N)1` substitution reaction.
9.
