Because tertiary alcohols have less acidic hydrogens. Because primary alcohols have less electron-donating groups which create more effective charge separation between oxygen and hydrogen atom, making it more acidic. Because primary alcohols are more polar than tertiary alcohols. Because primary alcohols have less electron-donating groups which decrease electron density on oxygen, making it more susceptible for H+ to depart from the structure.arrow_forward3) Which aa has the strongest acid side chain? a) b) H2N -CH-ö OH H,N -CH-C- OH CH2 ČH2 CH2 CH2 OH NH2 c) d) H2N -CH-ö OH H2N- CH OH CH2 CH-OH ČH3 OH 4) In order to oxidize an alcohol to aldehyde we use А) РСС В) НCL С) НЗО+arrow_forward
