7. The mononitration reaction of toluene is brought about by reaction with concentrated nitric acid in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid yielding a mixture of ortho, meta and para isomers of nitrotoluene. Show the expected structures of this mononitration reaction performed on the following isomers of dimethylbenzene (or xylene). Be careful to show distinct products and not simply the same compound drawn in two different orientations. d d a. 1,2-dimethylbenzene SHD clumiol on 1 Winuonmo adiio aman lsge an anh erls ot barasio quog cnims as dianssnodnohsmen leg od 6 b. 1,3-dimethylbenzene barbste quo1 lorlools n diwavirsvhab onosnad srd 1o amsn isiaq2 edt al isrW an s o 2vitehab snasnad bahuitedulb : c. 1,4-dimethylbenzene 2du2 bonadmun ritiw sno aman ows avib nesd gnwoiot a to dass o.2nonsngizsb o 10 033 HO
