प्रश्न
Give reasons Although –NH2 is o/p directing group, yet aniline on nitration gives a significant amount of m-nitroaniline

उत्तर
Nitration is usually carried out with a mixture of concentrated HNO3 and concentrated H2SO4. In the presence of these acids, most of aniline gets protonated to form anilinium ion. Therefore, in presence of acids, the reaction mixture consists of aniline and anilinium ion. Nitration of aniline due to steric hindrance at ortho position, mainly gives para nitroaniline and the nitration of anilinium ion gives m-nitroaniline. In actual practice, approximately 1:1 mixture of p-nitroaniline: m-nitroaniline is obtained.

Thus, nitration of aniline gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline due to protonation of the amino group.
