Question

In the compound given below The correct order of acidity of the positions (X), (Y) and (Z) is

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Carboxylic acids are stronger acids than $N^{+} H_{3}$ , therefore, X is the strongest acid. Since –COOH has –I effect which decreases with distance, therefore, effect is more pronounced on Y than on Z. As a result, Y is more acidic than Z. therefore, correct order of acidity of the positions is
X > Y > Z
