When aniline is nitrated with nitrating mixture in ice cold condition, the major product obtained is
- A \(p\) -nitroaniline
- B 2,4 dinitroaniline
- C \(o\) -nitroaniline
- D \(m\) nitroaniline
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(p\) -nitroaniline
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Direct nitration of aniline with nitric acid gives a complex mixture of mono, di- and tri-nitro compounds and oxidation products. If \(-\mathrm{NH}_{2}\) group is protected by acetylation and then nitrated with nitrating mixture, \(p\) -isomer is the main product.
