Which is more acidic -benzene or styrene
Benzene and styrene both are aromatic compound and have special chemical and industrial properties. Here we are going to discuss their acid-base properties . Benzene have electron density cloud above and below the Internuclear axis. Due to this benzene acts as the nucleophile. On treating with acid, pi bonds are get Delocalised and carbocation is formed. Due to Delocalisation of pi bonds, carbocation Or conjugate acid become stable . Similarly,in styrene ,benzylic carbocation also become more stable due to delocalisation of pi electrons or bond. But carbocation formed in this case is benzylic cation which is more stable than benzene cation . Extra stability in benzylic cation is due to greater resonating structures- Now question is that , out of benzene and styrene , which one is more acidic? Basic properties of_ of a molecule is determined by st...
