There are only four constitutional isomers with molecular
Chapter 3, Problem 3.59(choose chapter or problem)
There are only four constitutional isomers with molecular formula \(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{9} \mathrm{NO}_{2}\) that contain a nitro group \(\left(-\mathrm{NO}_{2}\right)\). Three of these isomers have similar \(p K_{a}\) values, while the fourth isomer has a much higher \(p K_{a}\) value. Draw all four isomers and identify which one has the higher \(p K_{a}\). Explain your choice.
