Explain Ortho nitrophenol is more acidic than Ortho methoxyphenol.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ortho nitrophenol is more acidic than Ortho methoxyphenol .
Explanation :

`to -NO_(2)` is an electron withdrawing group and `-OCH_(3)` is electron releasing group.
`to` By the presence of electron withdrawing group the phenoxide ion is more stabilized. By the presence of electron group the phenxoide ion is stabilized .
`to` Due to high stability of phenoxide ion, acidic nature increases.
