Cyclopropylbenzoic acid

The pKa of p-cyclopropylbenzoic acid is 4.45. Is cvclopropylbenzene likely to be more reactive or less reactive than benzene toward electrophilic bromination Explain. [Pg.761]

A pAa of 4.45 indicates that p-cyclopropylbenzoic acid is a weaker acid than benzoic acid. This, in turn, indicates that a cyclopropyl group must be electron-donating. Since electron-donating groups increase reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions, p-cyclopropylbenzene should be more reactive than benzene toward electrophilic bromination. [Pg.515]
