Identify the major product of the following reaction:

Step-by-step solution

Methoxy group is the activating group. Activating groups are the electron donating groups. The ortho product is the minor product and the para product is the major product. The HNO 3 + H 2 SO 4 is the reagent used for the nitration of benzene. So, the compound P is the p - nitromethoxybenzene and compound R is the o - nitromethoxybenzene. Hence, the major product is p - nitromethoxybenzene. Reaction :- Hence, the major product is .
