IBlearner73 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hello guys, I have an urgent question about carboxylic acids. Which one of them has the strongest positive inductive effect? I know propanoic acid has a greater pKa than butanoic and pentanoic acids, but does that mean that it has the greatest positive inductive effect(if you consider methanoic, ethanoic, propanoic, butanoic and pentanoic acids)? Please help me i'm so confused. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
