Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction of chlorobenzene with conc. $HNO_3$ in the presence of conc. $H_2SO_4$ is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction known as nitration. Chlorine is an ortho/para-directing group due to the resonance effect. Therefore,the nitration of chlorobenzene yields a mixture of $1-$chloro$-2-$nitrobenzene (ortho-isomer) and $1-$chloro$-4-$nitrobenzene (para-isomer). The reaction is: $C_6H_5Cl + HNO_3 \xrightarrow{conc. H_2SO_4, \Delta} C_6H_4(Cl)(NO_2) 	ext{ (ortho + para isomers)}$.

Identify the product obtained when chlorobenzene is heated with conc. $HNO_3$ in the presence of conc. $H_2SO_4$.
