Nitration of aniline is achieved by...

Nitration of aniline is achieved by

A

direct nitration with nitrating mixture under reflux

B

using fuming `HNO_(3)`

C

acetylation followed by nitration and subsequent hydrolysis

D

`KNO_(3)` and conc `HNO_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Direct nitration of aniline should be avoided as it yields tarry oxidation products in addition to the nitro derivatives However we can control the nitration reaction by protecting the `-NH_(2)` group by acetylation reaction with acetic anhydride
