Correct statement about the given chemical reaction is
Options
- AReaction is possible and compound (A) will be major product.
- B- N ¨ H 2 group is ortho and para directive, so product (B) is not possible.
- CReaction is possible and compound (B) will be the major product.
- DThe reaction will form sulphonated product instead of nitration.
Correct answer
A. Reaction is possible and compound (A) will be major product.
Step-by-step solution
Reaction is possible and compound (A) will be major product. Due to formation of anilinium ion by acid base reaction m-product is form as considerable amount. Nitration of aniline in strong acidic medium also gives m-nitroaniline because in acidic (strong) medium aniline is present as anilinium ion.
