acidity & H-bonds

2011-01-02 3:46 pm

1. 3,3-dinitrophenol (M)< 4-nitrophenol (K)< 2-nitrophenol (L)
(in ascending order of pKa values)
ans: L is the weakest acid as intramolecular hydrogen bonds are formed between the -OH group and -NO2 group

another question:
4-hydroxybenzoic acid < benzoic acid < 2-hydroxybenzioc acid
(in ascending order of acidity)
ans: 2-hydroxybenzoic acid is the strongest acid because intramolecular hydrogen bonds are formed. This helps stabilize the carboxylate anion formed.

咁我就唔明點解both 2-nitrophenol and 2-hydroxybenzoic acid can form intramolecular hydrogen bonds
但係一個係strongest acid while another is a weakest acid
究竟如果個compound form到H-bond點考慮佢係help stabilize the anion formed定係相反?
同埋2-hydroxybenzoic acid form左H-bond後點解會stabilize 左個anion formed既?

唔該晒 !!!!!

更新1:

it should be 3,4-dinitrophenol(M) instead of 3,3-dinitrophenol(M) sorry for the typing error

For acidity of molecules with Intramolecular hydrogen bonding, both the stability of the species concerned before and after deprotonation should be considered and compared. Before deprotonation, 2-Nitrophenol: √ Intramolecular H-bond between H of –OH and O of –NO22-Hydroxybenzoic acid: √ Intramolecular H-bond between O of –OH and H of –COOH √ Intramolecular H-bond between H of –OH and O of –COOHAfter deprotonation, 2-Nitrophenoxide: No Intramolecular H-bond between H of –OH and O of –NO22-Hydroxybenzoate: No Intramolecular H-bond between O of –OH and H of –COOH√ Intramolecular H-bond between H of –OH and O of –COOH(Ion-dipole attraction between H of –OH and –ve charge of COO-, much stronger!!!) Comparing the above extra stability originated from Intramolecular H-bond, a conclusion can be drawn: Relative Stability: 2-Nitrophenol > 2-NitrophenoxideRelative Stability: 2-Hydroxybenzoic acid < 2-Hydroxybenzoate=> Intramolecular H-bond inhibits the acidity of 2-Nitrophenol but strengthens the acidity of 2-Hydroxybenzoate. BTW, benzoic acids are always more acidic than phenol.

3,3-dinitrophenol ?!?!
how come there's 3,3- position?
please clarify.
