Question

What product(s) are formed when 3-methoxyacetophenone is nitrated as shown below? (Scheme Q1) H3C-CO NO2 BF4 Product(s) (Scheme Q1) H3CO Your answer should show the structures of any products and briefly explain why these are formed. A full explanation involving discussion of Wheland intermediates is not required. Two other possible products (X and Y) are not formed either because of steric hindrance (in the case of product X), or the inferior directing effect from the electron-withdrawing ketone (in the case of product Y) of. Draw products X and Y. (5 marks)
