Write the major product of the chlorination reaction of o-nitotoulene.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In 2-nitrotoluene, methyl group and nitro group direct the electrophile into p-position of the methyl group.
Hence the major product of the reaction between o-nitrotoluene and chlorine in the presence of `FeCl_3` is 4-chloro-1-methyl-2-nitro benzene.
