Chapter 22, Problem 22.38P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product for the given nitration reaction is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Nitration is the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Benzene, on reaction with nitric acid or with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid, undergoes substitution of one of the ring hydrogens by nitro group and forms nitrobenzene; this is called nitration. The number of nitration products depends on the number of distinct hydrogen atoms in the aromatic compound.
