Please help... Need a detail Mechanism of this reaction. Thanks...
synthesis of Methyl m-Nitrobenzoate Electrophilic aromatic substitution describes the reaction where a hydrogen from abenzene ring is replaced by an electrophile. Halogenation, nitration, sulfonation, alkylation and acylation are all possible using this type of reaction. The electrophile attacks the pi electrons of the aromatic ring, yielding a benzenonium ion. The substituted aromatic product is obtained when a proton is lost, restoring the aromatic system. If there is a substituent on the aromatic ring then they can be either ortho/para directing, or. meta directing. Examples of ortho/para directing substituents OR, OH, halogens and alkyl groups. Examples of meta directing groups are NO2, -so3H COR,- C00H, COOR, CN. This reaction for this lab is the nitration of methyl benzoate. ocHa HNO3 OCH3 so, NO2
