Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The single product that is formed in high yield in the nitration of 1,4-dimethylbenzene (p-xylene) is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The nitration is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction in which hydrogen of aromatic ring is substituted by a nitro group.

In the nitration reaction, the aromatic ring acts as a nucleophile and the nitronium ion acts as an electrophile.
