Question
### Mononitration Reactions of Aromatic Compounds **Objective:** To draw structures for the major product(s) of mononitration for given compounds, considering the directing effects of substituents. **Instructions:** Identify the major product(s) formed when the aromatic compounds undergo nitration in the presence of \(HNO_3\) and \(H_2SO_4\). Highlight the substituent’s directing influence on the nitration position on the benzene ring. #### 1. Benzaldehyde Nitration **Reactant:** ![Benzaldehyde](https://www.chemblink.com/structure-_10119017.gif) - Structure: Benzene ring with a formyl group (–CHO). - Reaction Conditions: \(HNO_3\), \(H_2SO_4\) **Product:** The formyl group is a meta-directing group. Hence, the nitro group will primarily attach to the meta position relative to the –CHO group. #### 2. Acetanilide Nitration **Reactant:** ![Acetanilide](https://www.chemicalland21.com/lifescience/phar/acetanilide.gif) - Structure: Benzene ring with an acetamide group (–NHCOCH3) and a methyl group (–CH3). - Reaction Conditions: \(HNO_3\), \(H_2SO_4\) **Product:** The acetamide group is ortho/para directing. The nitro group will attach primarily at the ortho and para positions relative to the –NHCOCH3 group. #### 3. Benzoyl Chloride Nitration **Reactant:** ![Benzoyl Chloride](https://www.chemicalland21.com/lifescience/chem/BENZOYL%20CHLORIDE.gif) - Structure: Benzene ring with a benzoyl group (–COCl). - Reaction Conditions: \(HNO_3\), \(H_2SO_4\) **Product:** The benzoyl group is meta-directing. The nitro group will primarily attach to the meta position relative to the –COCl group. #### 4. Benzaldehyde Nitration (alternate) **Reactant:** ![Benzotrifluoride](https://www.chemicalland
