Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionBefore spectroscopy was invented, Körner’s absolute method
was used to determine whether a disubstituted
benzene derivative was the ortho, meta, or para isomer.
Körner’s method involves adding a third group
(often a nitro group) and determining how many isomers
are formed. For example, when o-xylene is nitrated
(by a method shown in Chapter 17), two isomers are formed.
