Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among β-picoline and α-picoline, the one which is more reactive in nitration is to be stated. The resonance structure and major product of nitration is to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

The reaction in which an atom of aromatic system is replaced by an electrophile is known as electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Nitration reaction is an electrophilic aromation substitution reaction. In this reaction, nitronium ion acts as an electrophile. Nitronium ion is a very strong electrophile.
