Statement II : Use of Lewis base promotes the electrophilic substitution of benzene. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options
- AStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- BStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Correct answer
A. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Step-by-step solution
In nitration of benzene concentrated and is used as reagent which generates electrophile in following steps:
Lewis acids can promote the formation of electrophiles not Lewis base
Lewis acids can promote the formation of electrophiles not Lewis base
