Some important points related to basic strength of aromatic amine [ aniline]
1. In general, ERG such as CH3, -OCH3, -NH2 etc. increase the basic strength because by releasing the electron they
stabilize the anilinium ion [cation] or increases the electron density on amino group by that its tendency to show proton
affinity increases.
In general, EWG such as NO2, -CN, -COOH etc. decrease the basic strength because by withdrawing the electron they
destabilize the anilinium ion [cation] or decrease the electron density on amino group by that its tendency to show
proton affinity decreases.
2. Ortho- effect :- ortho-substituted aniline are usually weaker bases than aniline regardless of the nature of the
substituent whether ERG or EWG. This is called ortho-effect.[ it is due to a combination of steric and electronic
factors.]
3. In para-substituted aniline, ERG is most effective to increase basic strength and EWG is most effective to decrease the
basic strength in comparison to meta-substituted aniline.
ExamplesA) p-methoxy aniline > aniline>o-methoxy aniline> m-methoxy aniline*[ *+R effect does not operative at meta]
B) p-methyl aniline>m-methyl aniline*>aniline>o-methyl aniline[*hyperconjugation effect does not operative at meta]
C) p-amino phenol>o-amino phenol*>aniline>m-amino phenol[*stabilization of anilinium ion by H-bonding]
D) p-phenylene diamine> m- phenylene diamine*>aniline>o- phenylene diamine[ *+R effect does not operative at

E) aniline> p-chloro aniline>m- chloro aniline*>o- chloro aniline [ *+R effect does not operative at meta]
F) aniline>m-nitro-aniline*>p- nitro-aniline>o- nitro-aniline [ *-R effect does not operative at meta]
Some important points related to acidic strength of aromatic carboxylic acid [benzoic acid]
1. In general, ERG such as CH3, -OCH3, -NH2 etc. decrease the acidic strength because by releasing the electron they
destabilize the carboxylate ion [anion] by that tendency to form carboxylate ion with the release of H+ decreases.
In general, EWG such as NO2, -CN, -COOH etc. increase the acidic strength because by withdrawing the electron they
stabilize the carboxylate ion [anion] by that tendency to form carboxylate ion with the release of H+ increases.
2. Ortho- effect :- ortho-substituted benzoic acids are usually stronger acid than benzoic acid regardless of the nature of
the substituent whether ERG or EWG. This is called ortho-effect.[ it is due to a combination of steric and electronic
factors.]
3. In para-substituted benzoic acid, ERG is most effective to decrease the acidic strength and EWG is most effective to
increase the acidic strength in comparison to meta-substituted benzoic acid.
ExamplesA) P-Nitro benzoic acid > p-chloro benzoic acid > benzoic acid>p-toluic acid > p-anisic acid>p-hydroxy benzoic acid
B) O-toluic acid>benzoic acid>m-toluic acid*> p-toluic acid [*hyperconjugation effect does not operative at meta]
