These are questions from my organic chemistry lab regarding the nitration of methyl benzoate to form m-nitrobenzoate through electrophilic aromatic substitution rxn.
# Since toluene is an ortho - para directing group, we get a mixture of ortho and para products.
# If only conc. HNO3 used, %yield would DECREASE because sulphuric acid helps in generation of electrophile (nitronium ion). If there will be less electrophile, less product will form.
# Conc. Sulphuric acid helps in generation of electrophile as depicted through the mechanism.
What would be the product(s) of this reaction if toluene replaced methyl benzoate? If only concentrated...
Consider the nitration of methyl benzoate by concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids via an electrophilic aromatic substitution to form methyl m-nitrobenzoate. Calculate the molar masses of the reactants and product. Consider the nitration of methyl benzoate by concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids via an electrophilic aromatic substitution to form methyl m-nitrobenzoate Calculate the molar masses of the reactants and product. O. conc. HNO3, conc. H2SO4 TE: hydrogens have been omitted for clarity. O2 Report molar masses to 1 decimal place....
Hello I will nitrate methyl benzoate to methyl 3 nitrobenzoate. Please provide theoriletical yield indicating the limiting reagent. methyl benzoate:1mL HSO4 3mL nitric acid 1mL Refer to Table 10.2 in Organic Chemic l substituents and their directing effects on further electrophilic aromatic substitution. epide i U In today's lab, you will nirate methyl benzoate. The substifuent COOCHs is meta directing and therefore he major product obtained in this reaction is methyl 3-nitrobenzoate. HNO + HSO4 methyl benzoate methyl 3-nitrobenzoate Refer...

Post Lab Questions for Nitration of Acetanilide, Nitration of Methyl Benzoate, Nitration of Phenylacetonitrile, Nitration of Phenol. 1. What product(s) do you expect to be formed in the nitration of phenol? Why? 2. All three of the nitrophenols have boiling points well above 200°C. Explain clearly why it was possible to distill something with such a high boiling point when the temperature of the distillate never rose much above 100°C. 3. What product did you actually obtain in the distillate?...
