The abovefirst compound is said to be hydrolisedhydrolyzed more easily than thisthe 2nd compound below under Alkaline medium . How is this possible ? I
I thought due to resonance NO2, -NO2 acquires negative charge which facesfaces repulsion from the solvation effect by basic medium. But it will be relatively easier for oxygen in ch3o-CH3O( in 2nd compound) to donate its electrons to have it in resonance with benzene. But this contradicts with answer. Where am iI going wrong?
