Explanation:
It is prepared by nitration of benzoic acid at low temperatures. Both 2-Nitrobenzoic acid and 4-Nitrobenzoic acid are produced as side products, with yields of approximately 20% and 1.5% respectively. ... A less efficient route involves nitration of methyl benzoate, followed by hydrolysis.
