Nitration of aniline in strong acidic medium also gives mm-nitroaniline because:Nitration of aniline in strong acidic medium also gives m -nitroaniline because:

Options

  1. AIn absence of substituents nitro group always goes to mm-position.
  2. BIn electrophilic substitution reactions amino group is meta directive.
  3. CIn spite of substituents nitro group always goes to only mm-position.
  4. DIn acidic (strong) medium aniline is present as anilinium ion.

Correct answer

D. In acidic (strong) medium aniline is present as anilinium ion.

Step-by-step solution

Nitration of aniline in strong acidic medium also gives m -nitroaniline because:

In acidic medium aniline is protonated to form anilinium ion which is metadirecting (due to +I+ I effect).
