Chapter 22, Problem 22.2P

Draw the three possible resonance structures for an acid bromide, RCOBr . Then, using the p K a values in Appendix A, decide if RCOBr is more or less stabilized by resonance than a carboxylic acid ( RCOOH )

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Why are carboxylic acids more acidic than alcohols? The increased inductive effect of the alkyl group of the carboxylic acid resonance stabilization of the carboxylate ion (conjugate base of carboxylic acids) Due to hydrogen bonding They have high pKa values
The pKa of ascorbic acid (vitamin C, page 55) is 4.17, showing that it is slightly more acidic than acetic acid (CH3COOH, pKa 4.74). Compare the most stable conjugate base of ascorbic acid with the conjugate base of acetic acid, and suggest why these two compounds have similar acidities, even though ascorbic acid lacks the carboxylic acid (COOH) group.
Which compound is the strongest base?
