Nitration of Benzene

by

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

Bromination of Benzene

by

The Bromination of benzene involves the introduction of a bromine atom onto the benzene ring through electrophilic aromatic substitution. A Lewis acid typically catalyzes the reaction, often iron (III) chloride (FeCl3). Here is the reaction with a concise explanation: Here is a step-by-step mechanism for the bromination of benzene: Step 1: Formation of electrophile: The … Read more
