Grade 12th passOrganic Chemistry-R effect of -COOR is greater than -COOH. What is the best reason behind it. Sandeep 9 Years agoGrade 12th pass
Vikas TU9 Years agoSimple answer:in Ester that is -COOR there is R group that is the combination carbon and hydrogen atoms.And -R group always shows +R effect thus decreases -R effect.
Adikesh Kumar9 Years agoR is a alkyl group and so it is a electron pushing group and so t shows -R effect much better than H COO
Pranav Dabhade9 Years agosince “R”(Alkyl) group is +R group so decrease -R effect while H doesnot hence-R effect of -COOR is greater than -COOH.
