The correct order of acidic nature of the following alkynes is
I. \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_2 \quad\) II. \(\quad\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{C}_2\)
III. \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right) \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}\)

  1. A I \( < \) III \( < \) II
  2. B II \( < \) III \( < \) I
  3. C III \( < \) II \( < \) I
  4. D II \( < \) I \( < \) III
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) II \( < \) III \( < \) I

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Due to the \((+\mathrm{R})\) effect of methyl group the stability of conjugate bases decreases from (III) to (II): \(\therefore\) Correct order of acidity : (II) \( < \) (III) \( < \) (I)
