Abstract
Theoretical calculations have been made for the relative acidities of ortho substituted phenols at both the ab-initio STO-3G and 3-21G bases. The agreement with experimental results is similar to that found with meta or para substituted phenols, indicating clearly the usefulness of such calculations in ortho substituted benzenes. Interestingly, the results of calculations over a range of ortho substituents are linear against those for the corresponding para substituents, suggesting that steric effects are unimportant in determining the relative acidities of ortho substituted phenols.
