Nitration of aniline in strong acidic medium also gives m-nitroaniline because

Explain why aniline in strong acidic medium gives a mixture of Nitro anilines and what steps need to be taken to prepare selectively P - nitro aniline.

Nitration of aniline in strongly acidic medium, results in the formation of m- nitroaline also This is because

Nitration of aniline also gives m-nitro anilime, in stron acidic medium because,

Amino group, -NH_(2) is ortho, para-directing group in case of aromatic electrophilic substitution but nitration of aniline produce a good amount of m-nitroaniline. This is because

Assertion : Controlled nitration of aniline at low temperature gives m-nitroaniline as one of the major product.s Reason : In acidic medium, -NH_(2) group is converted to overset(+)(-N)H_(3) group which is m-directing.
