How to compare the acidic strength by inductive and mesomeric effect?
Open in App
Solution
The mesomeric effect is given priority over Inductive effect when both effects come into play.
Inductive:
More -I (Negative inductive effect) - more acidic
More+I (Positive inductive effect) - less acidic
Mesomeric:
More -M or -R - more acidic.
More+M or +R - less acidic.
Inductive:
More -I (Negative inductive effect) - more acidic
More+I (Positive inductive effect) - less acidic
Mesomeric:
More -M or -R - more acidic.
More+M or +R - less acidic.
