Topic: Acidity of alcohols and phenols Section: 13.2
3228. Explain why cyclohexanol has a pKa of 18 and phenol has a pKa of 10. Use structural
drawings to explain your reasoning.
Ans: The conjugate base of phenol is resonance stabilized. The negative charge on oxygen is delocalized over the aromatic ring. This makes the conjugate base more stable and thus a weaker base, making phenol a stronger acid.
O O O O
The conjugate base of cyclohexanol has no resonance stabilization and the negative charge on oxygen is localized, making it a stronger base, and cyclohexanol a weaker acid

Topic: Acidity of alcohols and phenols Section: 13.2
Difficulty Level: Medium
351. Rank the following alcohols in decreasing order of acidity. Explain your answer.
F OH F OH OH I II III F F Ans: I>III>II
The negative charge on the conjugate base of compound I is stabilized by three electron withdrawing fluorine atoms via inductive effect, making it the weakest base and the alcohol strongest acid.
The negative charge on the conjugate base of compound II is not stabilized, as it does not have any electronegative atoms on the carbon chain, making it a stronger base and the alcohol weakest acid.
The negative charge on the conjugate base of compound III is less stabilized than I, because it has only one fluorine atom connected. Thus making it a stronger acid than II, but a weaker acid than I.

Ans: The tertiary halide is too sterically hindered for an SN2 reaction with hydroxide as
nucleophile. Instead, the hydroxide ion is a strong base and will react with the alkyl chloride to form alkene via an E2 mechanism.
