Question

The correct order for acidity of the following hydroxyl compound is: Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) C > E > D > B > A
(B) D > E > C > A > B
(C) E > D > C > B > A
(D) E > C > D > A > B

Correct answer: D. Greater the stability of conjugate base, greater the acidity. For phenols, –M group (–NO2) present at para position stabilize the conjugate base, whereas hyperconjugation of –CH3 decreases the stability.
