Interpretation: The major product formed when each of the given compound reacts with a mixture of concentrated
Concept introduction:
When an
Nitration is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
Para substitution is more stable over ortho due to steric hindrance at the ortho position.
Activating groups like alkyl groups,
Deactivating group gives substitution at the meta position. Such electron withdrawing group gives stable product at meta position.
