Hmmm...
I don't know.
NO2 is a strongly deactivated group, while OH is a strongly activating group.
4-hydroxy-2,6-dinitrobenzenesulphonic acid
and
2-hydroxy-4,6-dinitrobenzenesulphonic acid
I think the latter would predominate as there are two nitro groups and so twice the likely to produce such a chemical...
