Both at ortho causes more steric hindrance
So one is at para
It's not like 2 ortho doesn't form, it's a really really minor pdt, we only talk about major pdts
how
there should be considerable gap btw them
So3h is quite a bulky grp
Just look how big it is with all the lone pairs too
Even -CH3 causes steric rep bro
There's -OH grp's Oxygen's lone pairs too in the question
there's a lot of repulsion
