Nitrobenzene on reaction with conc. HNO3/H2SO4 at 80-1000C forms which one of the following products?
1,2-dinitrobenzene
1,3- dinitrobenzene
1,4-dinitrobenzene
1,4-dinitrobenzene
B.
1,3- dinitrobenzene
NO2 group being electron withdrawing reduces electron density at output positions. Hence, now the meta-position becomes electron rich on which the electrophile (nitronium ion) attacks during nitration.
HNO3 +H2SO4 ---> H2NO3+ +HSO-4 +H2O +NO2+
