Nitration of furan with acetylnitrate leads to 2,5-dinitrofuran. Mononitration can be done by A. carrying out the reaction at higher temperature. B. using nitric acid instead of acetyl nitrate. C. carrying out the nitration in the presence of pyridine D. using concentrated nitric acid/sulfuric acid instead of acetyl nitrate.
