Here are the reactions involving the preparation of ethers
Why the boiling point of carboxylic acids is higher than that of the corresponding alcohols ?
In case of carboxylic acids the OH bond is more polar due to the presence of carbonyl group. The C=O group attracts more electrons towards itself which makes the -OH more polar. Due to higher polarity the magnitude of H-bonding also increase considerably in case of carboxylic acids as compared to alcohols. So the boiling…
Why Formaldehyde is more reactive then other aldehydes? justify .
The reactivity of Aldehydes depend upon two factors . 1 Steric effect :- The reactivity of aldehyde depends upon the fact that the nucleophile will attack on the Carbon atom of the carbonyl group. If it is less crowded the nucleophile can easily approach it and can easily react. So lesser is the hinderance more…
why do aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophillic addition reaction ?
in case of aldehydes and ketones there is a carbonyl group present in the molecule as shown below :- The oxygen is more electrongative than the carbon , due this the polarity develops in the C=O bond. The carbon becomes partially positive and the oxygen becomes partially negative . This decreases the electron density on…
