Acidic strength order. Helppp pls?!?
What'll be the acidic strength order of:
Ortho methyl phenol, ortho ethyl phenol, ortho propyl phenol and ortho butyl phenol.
Which one will have maximum acidic strength? I'm confused because we studied ortho position gives rise to hyperconjugation thus implying to +m effect in return as +m are electron releasing groups and as the no of c-h bonds increase, +m increases, +m increasing implies less acidic strength. So, acc to the order I've written them in isn't this the INCREASING order in terms of acidic strength?
Help will be really appreciated. Thanks.
