Solution

Nitration: Direct nitration of aniline yields (p-nitroaniline) a mixture of ortho, meta, and para nitroanilines. In an acidic medium the -NH2 group is protonated to the -N+H3 group which is meta-directing and deactivating. Hence, a considerable amount of m-nitroaniline is obtained.

Preparation of p-nitroaniline: However, to get p-nitroaniline as a major product, the –NH2 group is first protected by acetylation and then nitration is carried followed by hydrolysis amide.
