Question

Give reason Although amino group is o,p^− directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions,

Answer 1

Although amino group is o, p− directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions, aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline:Nitration is carried out in an acidic medium.

Answer 2

although amino group is o,p-direkting in aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroanline ;nitration is carried out in an acitic midium. in an acitic medium , aniline is protonated to give anilinium ion . for this reason, aniline on nitrogen gives a substantial amount of m-nitroanline
