Question

Nitration of aniline also gives m-nitroaniline in strong acidic medium because (A) in electrophilic substitution reaction, amino group is meta-directive (B) inspite of substituerlts, nitro group always goes to m-position (C) in strong acidic medium, aniline forms anilinium ion (D) none of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Nitration of aniline in strong acidic medium also gives m-nitroaniline because in acidic (strong) medium aniline is present as anilinium ion. Amino

- N H_{2}

group is ortho-para directing but

- N H_{3}^{+}

group is meta directing.

C_{6} H_{5} - N H_{2} + H^{+} strong acid, nitrating mixture C_{6} H_{5} - N H_{3}^{+} N O_{2}^{+} m -

nitroaniline

Q. Nitration of aniline also gives $m$ -nitroaniline in strong acidic medium because

in electrophilic substitution reaction, amino group is meta-directive

inspite of substituerlts, nitro group always goes to $m$ -position

in strong acidic medium, aniline forms anilinium ion

none of the above
