Description : Although — NH2 gp is an ortho and para directing gp, nitration of aniline gives along with ortho and para, meta derivatives also.
Last Answer : Nitration is carried out with a mixture of Conc. NO3 + Conc. H2 SO4 (nitrating mix). In the presence of these acids, most of aniline gets protonated to form anilinium ion. Therefore, in the ... is m-directing and deactivating hence a mixture of all three-ortho, para and meta derivatives is formed.
