Question

Among the following statements on the nitration of aromatic compounds, the false one is (A) the rate of nitration of benzene is almost the same as that of hexadeuterobenzene (B) the rate of nitration of toluene is greater than that of benzene (C) the rate of nitration of benzene is greater than that of hexadeuterobenzene (D) nitration is an electrophilic substitution reaction

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Hexadeuterobenzene C 6 D 6 is less reactive than benzene C 6 H 6 due to isotopic effect.

Q. Among the following statements on the nitration of aromatic compounds, the false one is

the rate of nitration of benzene is almost the same as that of hexadeuterobenzene

the rate of nitration of toluene is greater than that of benzene

the rate of nitration of benzene is greater than that of hexadeuterobenzene

nitration is an electrophilic substitution reaction

Hexadeuterobenzene $C_{6} D_{6}$ is less reactive than benzene $C_{6} H_{6}$ due to isotopic effect.
