Which of the following is most acidic ?

Answer»




Solution :The PHENOXIDE ion left from o-hydorxybenzaldehyde and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde are stabilised by `-L` and `-R-` EFFECT of the `-CHO` group. But in o-isomer DUE to chelation it is difficult to remove that H-atom. HENCE, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is the strongest acid.
