JEE Main 25 February 2021, Shift 2, Chemistry Q47

Question 47 of 90 in this shift, Chemistry question 17 of 30, Section A.

[figure: benzene ring with

\mathrm{NH_2}

\xrightarrow[288\ \mathrm{K}]{\mathrm{HNO_3,\ H_2SO_4}}

(A) + (B) + (C)] Correct statement about the given chemical reaction is :

The figure, in words

Benzene ring with NH2 at top -> HNO3, H2SO4 / 288 K -> three products: (A) ring with NH2 at top and NO2 at bottom (para); (B) ring with NH2 at top and NO2 at lower right (meta); (C) ring with NH2 at top and NO2 at upper right (ortho). Letters (A), (B), (C) are printed.

(1) $-\ddot{\mathrm{N}}\mathrm{H_2}$ group is ortho and para directive, so product (B) is not possible.
(2)Reaction is possible and compound (B) will be the major product.
(3)The reaction will form sulphonated product instead of nitration.
(4)Reaction is possible and compound (A) will be major product.Official answer
