Question

Acetanilide on nitration with nitrating mixture gives a major product
(a) m, nitro acetanilide
(b) p-nitroacetanilide
(c) o-nitro acetanilide
(d) All the above.​

Answer 1

Answer:

4-Nitroacetanilide is another name for para-nitroacetanilide. As a chemical compound. A trace of the ortho product also forms along with the para product on the nitration of acetanilide.

Explanation:

Through nitration, the acetanilide can be transformed into the chemical molecule p-nitro acetanilide.

p-nitro acetanilide is produced when acetanilide is combined with the nitrating mixture, a solution of sulphuric acid and nitric acid. p-nitro acetanilide is formed as a major product.

Additionally, o-nitro acetanilide is produced as a small byproduct or a minor product together with p-nitro acetanilide.

Hence, acetanilide on nitration with a nitrating mixture gives a major product of p-nitroacetanilide.

The correct option is (b) p-nitroacetanilide.
