When toluene is treated with a mixture of excess sulfuric acid and nitric acid at high temperature, a compound is obtained that exhibits only two signals in its ¹H NMR spectrum. One signal appears upfield and has an integration of 3. The other signal appears downfield and has an integration of 2. 18.85a1 * Incorrect. Draw the structure of the compound. To save time drawing, an abbreviation can be used for a nitro group. To search for Abbreviated groups, use the toolbar button below the list of atoms, or press the space bar.
