Nitration of nitrobenzene at 125° C with mixed acids gives

Question

Nitration of nitrobenzene at 125° C with mixed acids gives (A) meta-dinitrobenzene (B) ortho-dinitrobenzene (C) para-dinitrobenzene (D) 1, 3, 5-trinitro benzene

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Nitrobenzene on nitration gives m-dinitro benzene, as - NO 2 group is meta-directing. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/6c9be45c5b78759812e362717994b94f-.png" /> In this reaction the attacking reagent is NO 2-.

Q. Nitration of nitrobenzene at $12 5^{\circ} C$ with mixed acids gives

meta-dinitrobenzene

ortho-dinitrobenzene

para-dinitrobenzene

1, 3, 5-trinitro benzene

Nitrobenzene on nitration gives m-dinitro benzene, as $- N O_{2}$ group is meta-directing.

In this reaction the attacking reagent is $N O_{2}^{-}$ .
