Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the nitration of benzene, which reagent is used to generate the electrophile?
  • Step 1: Understand that nitration of benzene involves adding a nitro group (NO2) to the benzene ring.
  • Step 2: Identify the two acids used in this reaction: nitric acid (HNO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
  • Step 3: Recognize that these acids react together to produce the nitronium ion (NO2+), which is the electrophile needed for the reaction.
  • Step 4: Remember that the nitronium ion (NO2+) is a positively charged species that will attack the benzene ring.
