Hi, in this question we are asked to write the mononitration reaction of toluene and monochlorination reaction of nitrobenzene.
00:09
Also we need to write the name of the products and we have to give the reason why we obtained these products.
00:15
If we talk about the mononitration reaction of toluene, let us draw the structure of toluene.
00:22
Here in toluene we are having a benzene ring on which we have ch3 attached.
00:26
When this undergoes nitration, then we can say here it will react with hno3 in presence of h2so4.
00:39
We can say it will produce the products as ortho and para derivatives.
00:50
On ortho position we have no2 group attached and another product is on para position we have no2 group attached.
01:00
This is ortho nitro toluene and this is para nitro toluene.
01:14
We obtain these products because ch3 that is the methyl group, it is an electron donating group and it increases electron density at ortho and para positions of benzene ring...
