How to increase percent yield? How to improve experiment? Nitration of Veratrole?

1 Answer

Answer :

Can you provide a bit more detail about the experimental conditions and the precise reaction you were attempting? As a general rule, most reactions do not result in 100% yield, and so, this might be the limits of the reaction. Alternatively, one of your reagents was limiting, and caused a reduced yield.

Description : Out of benzene, m–dinitrobenzene and toluene which will undergo nitration most easily and why?

Last Answer : Ans. -CH3 group is electron donating while –NO2 group is electron withdrawing. Therefore, maximum electron density will be in toluene , followed by benzene and at least in m-dinitrobenzene. Therefore, the ease of nitration decreases in the order: Toluene> benzene> m-dinitrobenzene
