Nitrobenzene, on reaction with fuming nitric acid at 90°C, gives
Answers
Answer:
It gives 1,3-Dinitrobenzene.
1,3 Dinitrobenzene is the major product of this reaction.
Explanation:
The nitro benzene is a very electron deficient species because of the pull of electron from the benzene ring by the nitro group.
The nitro group is a meta directing group because it causes deficit of charges in ortho and para regions.
At around 50 to 60°C, the nitrating mixture reacts with benzene to produce nitro benzene.
When the temperature is increased to 80 to 100°C the product formed majorly is 1,3 Dinitrobenzene.
