React with concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid. These undergo an acid-base reaction to form a nitronium ion, a hydrogensulfate ion and water. The nitronium ion reacts as an electrophile with the benzene ring to form nitrobenzene, releasing a proton which reacts with the hydrogensulfate ion to regenerate the catalyst.
