  • Aniline vs. o-Nitroaniline: Understanding Basicity Differences
    The correct answer is o -nitroaniline.

    O- nitro aniline is more acidic than aniline. This is because the nitro group is a strong electron-withdrawing group. It pulls electrons away from the nitrogen atom in the amino group, which makes the nitrogen atom more positive and less able to donate electrons. This means that o- nitro aniline is less likely to accept a proton and become protonated, which makes it a stronger base.
