Acidity of phenols

3 Phenols are more acidic than alcohols because the phenoxide anion is resonance-stabilized by the aromatic ring. Sharing the negative charge over the ring increases the stability of the phenoxide anion and thus increases the tendency of the corresponding phenol to dissociate (Figure ). Figure: A resonance-stabilized phenoxide ion is more stable than an alkoxide ion. Electrostatic potential maps show how the negative charge is more concentrated on oxygen in the methoxide ion but is less concentrated on the phenoxide oxygen. More stable Less stable

10 Most phenols, however, are not soluble in aqueous sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), but carboxylic acids are soluble. Thus, aqueous NaHCO 3 provides a method for distinguishing and separating most phenols from carboxylic acids.
