How do you make nitrotoluene?
Nitrotoluene also could be obtained by “reverse” mixing of toluene and nitrating agent. To the well stirred flask with nitrating mixture consisting of 65% sulfuric acid, 10% nitric acid and 25% of water from the dropping funnel slowly toluene is added, that the reaction constantly rises and reaches 40-45° C.
How do you make nitro toluene?
Why nitration of toluene always gives only ortho and para nitro toluene product explain?
The methyl group of toluene is far more reactive than benzene in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Hence, toluene undergoes nitration to give ortho and para nitro toluene isomers, but when heated it can give dinitrotoluene and ultimately the explosive trinitrotoluene.
How do you make nitrobenzene benzene?
Benzene is nitrated by replacing one of the hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring by a nitro group, NO2. The benzene is treated with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulphuric acid at a temperature not exceeding 50°C. The mixture is held at this temperature for about half an hour.
What precautions should you take when working with p-Nitrobenzoic acid?
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe dust. Storage Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
What is the structure of o nitrotoluene?
2-Nitrotoluene or ortho-nitrotoluene is an organic compound with the formula CH3C6H4NO2. It is pale yellow liquid that crystallizes in two forms, called α (−9.27 °C) and β (−3.17 °C). It is mainly a precursor to o-toluidine, which is an intermediate in the production of various dyes.
How do you perform a nitration?
Nitration happens when one (or more) of the hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring is replaced by a nitro group, NO2. Benzene is treated with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid at a temperature not exceeding 50°C. The mixture is held at this temperature for about half an hour.
How can we convert benzene to para nitro toluene?
The mixture of p-nitrotoluene and o-nitrotoluene can be separated by fractional distillation. Thus, benzene is converted p-nitrotoluene by converting benzene to toluene then toluene to a mixture of o-nitrotoluene and p-nitrotoluene and then separating the mixture by fractional distillation to get p-nitrotoluene.
