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

Options

  1. AIn absence of substituents nitro group always goes to m-position.
  2. BIn electrophilic substitution reactions amino group is meta directive.
  3. CInspite of substituents nitro group always goes to only m-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

As - N H 3 ⊕ is m-directing and strongly ring deactivating, hence besides para (51%) and ortho (2%), meta product (47%) is also formed in significant yield here.
