18. Reactions of Aromatics:EAS and Beyond
EAS:Nitration Mechanism
10PRACTICE PROBLEM
a. Show the structures of three isomers of dimethyl benzoate.
b. The nitration of the isomers at all possible positions was once used to determine their structures. The nitration of isomer A produced three mononitro isomers, isomer B produced two mononitro isomers while isomer C produced only one mononitro isomer. Label which of the isomer you drew is isomer A, which one is isomer B, and which one is isomer C.
