The nitration of benzene is a chemical process where benzene undergoes a reaction with concentrated nitric acid at temperatures ranging from 323 to 333 K, facilitated by the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid. This reaction leads to the formation of nitrobenzene and is commonly referred to as the nitration of benzene. Here is a step-by-step … Read more
Benzene, a six-carbon ring with alternating double bonds, exhibits unique chemical stability compared to aliphatic compounds. Its reactions often involve substitution rather than addition reactions. Here are some fundamental chemical reactions of benzene: 1. Substitution Reactions: (a) Halogenation: Benzene can undergo halogenation in the presence of a halogen (e.g., chlorine or bromine) and a catalyst. … Read more
