Question

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

Moderate

A
B

(I) is more acidic than (II).
C

(I) is less acidic than (II) due to steric inhibition of resonance of two (Me) groups with (NO₂) group.
D

(I) is more acidic than (II) due to less +I effect of two (Me) groups in (I).

Solution

Minus I effect increases the order of acidity. The minus I group leads to the easy cleavage of O-H bond. But here we can see that stearic course plays a crucial role.
