The acid strength of active methylene group in A) CH_3COCH_3COOC_2H_5 B) CH_3COCH_2COCH_3 C) C_2H_5 OO C CH_2COOC_2H_5 decreases as

Answer»

` a gt c gt B`
`a gt b gt c `
`b gt a gt c `
`c gt a gt b`

SOLUTION :The ACID strength of active METHYLENE group is
`H_3C -overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_2-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_3 gt H_3C-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_2-overset(O)overset(||)C-OC_2H_5 gt H_5C_2-O-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_2-overset(O)overset(||)C-OC_2H_5`
Because ester grop has O-R group which decreases electron WITHDRAWING nature of carbonyl group.
