Why 4-hydroxybenzoic acid is less acidic than 2-hydroxybenzoic acid?

4 hydroxybenzoic acid is para directing group whereas 2 is ortho directing group. thus at para, the two groups i.e. alcohol and carboxyl are far apart and thus dont show steric hinderance. therefore para directing group is a stable and as a result less acidic.


What 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid used for?

4-Hydroxybenzoic acid, or p-hydroxybenzoic acid, HOC6H4CO2H ,is primarily known as the basis for the preparation of its esters, known as parabens, which are used as preservatives in cosmetics, being a popular antioxidant because of its low toxicity (LD50 = 2200 mg/kg for mice (oral)).Its isomere 2-Hydroxybenzoic acid is called: salicylic acid, a precursor to aspirin(R).

Why o-hydroxy benzoic acid is strong than m-hydroxy benzoic acid?

o-Hydroxybenzoic acid is stronger than m-hydroxybenzoic acid because the hydroxyl group in o-hydroxybenzoic acid is in closer proximity to the carboxylic acid group, allowing for stronger intramolecular hydrogen bonding. This results in greater stabilization of the molecule and higher acidity.

How is methylparaben made?

Methylparaben is typically synthesized by esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with methanol, usually in the presence of an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid. This process forms the ester linkage between the p-hydroxybenzoic acid and the methanol, resulting in the formation of methylparaben.
