1
Q

Why does the electrophile add to the alpha carbon of the keto instead of the oxygen? (The counter ion is Na+)

A

The counter ion Na+ is more tightly associated with the oxygen than the alpha carbon thus block the approach of the electrophile

A

Phenol bound to OH

129
Q

Which is more acidic: Phenoxide Anion (phenyl bound to O-) or cyclohexane bound to O-? Why?

A

Phenoxide Anion because resonance stabilize = more stable anion = more acidic

130

4) Cl at both ortho positions and the para position
What is your reasoning for this order?

A

1, 3, 2, 4
Inductive Effects

131
Q

If benzene is bound to OH, which is more acidic: Cl at the para position or CH3 at the para position? Why?

A

Cl at the para position because Cl is an EWG, while CH3 is an EDG

132
Q

If benzene is bound to OH, which is more acidic: Cl at the para position or NO2 at the para position? Why?

A

NO2 because extra resonance

133
Q

If benzene is bound to OH, which is more acidic: NO2 at the para position or NO2 at the meta position?

A

NO2 at the para position (p-nitrophenol) is more acidic

134
Q

If benzene is bound to OH, which is more acidic: CN at the para position or Cl at the para position? Why?

A
