An aromatic compound (A), C(8)H(10), on ...

An aromatic compound `(A), C_(8)H_(10)`, on oxidation with acidic `KMnO_(4)` gives dibasic acid. The compound `(A)` on nitration gives three isomeric nitro derivatives. The compound (A) is:

A

a.o-Xylene

B

b.m-Xylene

C

c.p-Xylene

D

d.Ethyl benzene

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The ortho compound on nitration (or halogenation or sulphonation or Friedel-Crafts reaction) gives two isomers, meta gives three, and para gives one compound `(OMP=231)`.

So the answer is `(b)`.
