Question

How aniline can be converted by efficient procedure to mononitro derivative?

• A. Nitration with conc.$HNO_{3}$+ conc. $H_{2}SO_{4}$
• B. Aniline $\rightarrow$dimethyl aniline$\rightarrow$p-nitrosodimethyl aniline $\rightarrow$p-niromethyl aniline
• C. Aniline $\rightarrow$acetanilide $\rightarrow$o-and p-nitroacetanilide $\rightarrow$ hydrolysed
• D. Aniline $\rightarrow$chlorobezene via diazonium salt nitrated to give o- and p-chloronitro benzene $\rightarrow$heated with $NH_{3}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Aniline $\rightarrow$acetanilide $\rightarrow$o-and p-nitroacetanilide $\rightarrow$ hydrolysed

Answer 2

: Aniline is sensitive to oxidation so during nitration it is protected firstly.
