Acidity Trends
« on: August 13, 2011, 05:02:25 PM »
Hi everyone,

Can someone explain to me why the following trend in acidity of the carboxylic hydrogen exists?

Most acidic to least:

1.
2.
3.

Is it because pi bonds are electron withdrawing and thus stabilize the negative charge through induction?
