Answer #1



Nitration of isopropyl benzene gives a corresponding product.


HNO3 H2SO4 cumene No2 1-isopropyl-4-nitrobenzene


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Here, this reaction is not possible since the isopropyl group will be attacked at the ortho position then there will be more steric repulsion between the two bulky groups.

Bromination of 1-isopropyl-4-nitrobenzene gives 2-bromo-1-isopropyl-4-nitrobenzene.
