The strongest acid among the following aromatic compound is:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B p-Nitrophenol
The strongest acid among the following aromatic compound is p-Nitrophenol. When strong electron withdrawing nitro group is present in para position, the loss of proton from -OH group becomes easy as the phenoxide ion is resonance stablizied and nitro group decreases electron density from phenoxide ion. This increases the acidic behaviour.
