Siddharth Banerjee answered |
In 1, the ortho effect is highly effective and hence is most acidic among II AND III . In option II, the tertiary butoxy group increases the electrohillic nature of benezene ring and hence the negative charge formed on phenoxide ion after the removal of proton gets more dispersed in the ring and thus the anion gets stable and becomes more acidic then III.( benzoic acid).
Thus Correct option is A
Thus Correct option is A

- There is a possibility of Hydrogen Bonding between "Hydrogen(H)" of OH group and "Oxygen(O)" of OMe group.
- So if they are oriented in such a way that these two groups are close to each other , the strength of hydrogen bond would increase making it more stronger.
- Hence, Option A, because of Hydrogen Bonding becomes the most stable isomer.

In case of 3 lone pair of O and N both delocalise into benzene ring so it has maximum e- density.
In case of 1 lone pair of O delocalise into benzene ring so it has second highest e- density.
In case of 2, Due to the presence of carbonyl oxygen atom ,it pulls the electron density from the benzene ring through delocalisation.
In 4, there is no such effect.

Lekshmi Deshpande answered |
Acidity of a compound depends upon the stability of the conjugate base. Here after protonation the conjugate base of 1 will gain stability due to aromatic character similarly conjugate base of 3 will be highly unstable due to anti aromatic character. Thus the order of the stability of conjugate base - 1>2>3. Thus the order of acidity is: 1>2>3 which is option 'a'.

-1st is uncharged so it is the most stable among the following options.
-2nd one is charged but have more no of covalent bonds than 3rd and 4th so it is more stable than 3rd and 4th.
-Between 3rd and 4th follow the electronegativity rulle which means more electronegative atom bears negative charge. In 4th the positive charge on oxygen atom is against the electronegative prinicple . So it will like to have negative charge rather than positive chargee. So 3rd is more stable tha 4th.
Therefore the order will be 1>2>3>4

The most stable conformations of 1,2-difluoroethane and dl-2, 3-butanediol are:
a)
b)
c)
d)
|
|
Dronacharya Institute answered |
1,2-Difluoroethane:
1,2-Difluoroethane has two fluorine atoms attached to adjacent carbons in an ethane backbone. The most stable conformation generally minimizes steric repulsion and maximizes favorable interactions such as hyperconjugation and the anomeric effect (if applicable).
For 1,2-difluoroethane, the anti conformation (where the two fluorine atoms are 180 degrees apart) is generally the most stable due to minimized steric repulsion and torsional strain.
dl-2,3-Butanediol:
dl-2,3-Butanediol has hydroxyl groups on the second and third carbons of a butane backbone. The most stable conformation minimizes steric hindrance between the hydroxyl groups and other substituents.
For dl-2,3-butanediol, the gauche conformation (where the two hydroxyl groups are 60 degrees apart) is often the most stable due to the hydrogen bonding between the -OH groups.
Given the information above, we can analyze the provided options:
- Option A:
- 1,2-difluoroethane is in the anti conformation.
- dl-2,3-butanediol is in the gauche conformation.
- Option B:
- 1,2-difluoroethane is in a gauche conformation.
- dl-2,3-butanediol is in the anti conformation.
- Option C:
- 1,2-difluoroethane is in the gauche conformation.
- dl-2,3-butanediol is in the gauche conformation.
- Option D:
- 1,2-difluoroethane is in the anti conformation.
- dl-2,3-butanediol is in the anti conformation.
Based on the stability analysis:
- The anti conformation is most stable for 1,2-difluoroethane.
- The gauche conformation is most stable for dl-2,3-butanediol.
Therefore, the correct option is:

Aromatic molecules have the following characteristics:
■ They are cyclic.....
■ They are conjugated all around the ring.... (In simple words: every atom in the ring must be able to participate in resonance....)
■ The molecule must have (4n+2) Pi electrons....
■ The molecule must be planar..
Hence, by considering the conditions.. we can say that only Q and S are aromatic....

Asf Institute answered |
All the options A, B and C are same
- When A is rotated by 90 degrees two times i.e. 180 degrees in plane of your screen then compound C will be obtained
- Now by switching A two times or ‘even’ switch compound B will be obtained and configuration remained same as the switch was even
Hence all are the same, so, D is correct.

Rohan Desai answered |
Double bonds are shorter than single bond. In 1 there is double bond so it's bond length will be least.
Now we have to compare between 2 and 3. In 3 the lonepair over the Oxygen atom is involve in conjugation so it has partial double bond character, means bond length is lesser than single bond but greater than double bond. so bond length of 3 is greater than 2.
So the option 'B' is correct.

Vikram Kapoor answered |
In the 1st compound the double bond is at the bridgehead carbon , as a result this compound cannot exist in enol form because such conformation would give an impossibility strained ring .Such dis stabilizing effect is absent in 2 nd compound . Whereas the 3 rd compound exclusively exist in enol form due to the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonding
According to britz's rule at bridge head position -ve charge is unstable so; 3>2>1

Hyperconjugation is the stabilising interaction that results from the interaction of the electrons in a σ-bond (usually C-H or C-C) with an adjacent empty or partially filled p-orbital or a π-orbital to give an extended molecular orbital that increases the stability of the system.

Diastereomers are a type of stereoisomers that have different configurations at one or more stereocenters but are not mirror images of each other. They have different physical and chemical properties and can often be separated by fractional crystallization.
Explanation:
Diastereomers are stereoisomers that have different configurations at one or more stereocenters, which are carbon atoms that have four different substituents attached to them. Unlike enantiomers, which are mirror images of each other and have identical physical and chemical properties, diastereomers have different physical and chemical properties. This is because diastereomers have different spatial arrangements of their atoms and functional groups.
Fractional crystallization is a technique used to separate diastereomers. It involves slowly cooling a solution containing the diastereomers, causing one diastereomer to crystallize out before the other. This technique works because diastereomers have different solubilities in different solvents, and their crystals have different shapes and sizes.
In conclusion, the statement "Diastereomers can often be separated by fractional crystallization" is true because diastereomers have different physical and chemical properties and can be separated based on these differences using techniques such as fractional crystallization.
