Q.
Among the following statements on the nitration of aromatic compounds, the false one is
Amines
Solution:
Since $^+NO_2$ is an electrophile so nitration is electrophilic substitution reaction. Nitration in toluene is greater because of electron-repelling $(+I)$ nature of $—CH_3$ group. In nitration, the rate determining step is the attack of $NO_2^{+}$ on benzene and not the cleavage of $C-H$ (or $C-D$) bond, thus the rates of nitration are almost same.
