( C ₆ H ₆ H ₂ SO ₄ HNO ₃ X FeCl ₃ Cl ₂ Y ). In the above sequence (Y ) can be
Options
- A3-nitrochlorobenzene
- B1-nitrochlorobenzene
- C4-nitrochlorobenzene
- Dnone of these.
Correct answer
A. 3-nitrochlorobenzene
Step-by-step solution
( HNO ₃+ H ₂ SO ₄ ) will generate NO ₂⁺ (nitronium ion) which will give nitrobenzene, as - NO ₂ is deactivating and meta directing so, product formed will be 3-nitrochlorobenzene.
