nitration

temperature (~0°C). Cooling minimizes side reactions and controls the reaction rate. Addition of Bromobenzene: Add a measured amount of bromobenzene to the flask. Addition of Acid Mixture: Carefully add concentrated sulfuric acid to the bromobenzene,

troacetanilide formed in smaller quantities. Reaction Mechanism: Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution The electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) mechanism in this lab involves several key steps: Generation of the Electroph
