Question
Nitration of aniline in strong acidic medium also gives m-nitroaniline because
Options
A.
In spite of substituents nitro group always goes to only m-position.
B.
In electrophilic substitution reactions amino group is meta directive.
C.
In absence of substituents nitro group always goes to m-position
D.
In acidic (strong) medium aniline is present as anilinium ion.
