Nitrobenzene on reaction with conc `HNO_(3)//H_(2)SO_(4)` at `80-100^(@)C` forms which one of the following products .

A

1,2-dinitrobenzene

B

1,3-dinitrobenzene

C

1,4-dinitrobenzene

D

1,2,4-trinitrobenzene

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`NO_(2)` group being electron withdrawing that's why it reduces the electron density at ortho and para-positions. Hence, as compare to ortho and para the meta-position is electron rich on which the electrophile (nitronium ion) can easily attcks during nitration.
