These conversions are based on the fact that:
(a) Chlorine is ortho and para directing in nature.
(b) Nitro group is meta directing in nature.
(i) Benzene into p-nitro bromobenzene
(ii) Benzene into m-nitro chlorobenzene.
(iii) Benzene into p-nitrotoluene.
(iv) Benzene into acetophenone.
Out of benzene, m-dinitrobenzene and toluene which will undergo nitration most easily and why?
How will you explain the directive influence of alkyl group (in the case of toluene)?
Arrange the following set of compounds in order of their decreasing relative reactivity with an electrophile E+:
(a) Chlorobenzene; 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene, p- nitro chlorobenzene
