Hi, I know this is a really basic question
"Which of the following changes to n-propanol would NOT result in a lower pKa than n-propanol?
A. Oxidizing carbon 1 by four electrons, resulting in a pi bond to oxygen instead of two sigma bonds to hydrogen
B. Replacing oxygen with a sulfur atom
C. Replacing the propyl group with a phenyl ring
D. Replacing the OH group with an amine group."
The answer was D. For B, they said that the larger atomic radius of Sulfur allows for easier loss of...
