Why is m-nitro formed in the reaction of nitration of methyl benzoate instead of the ortho or para isomers? Theoretically, do you expect a m-product during sulfonation of methyl benzoate? Explain.

Post Lab Questions for Nitration of Acetanilide, Nitration of Methyl Benzoate, Nitration of Phenylacetonitrile, Nitration of Phenol. 1. What product(s) do you expect to be formed in the nitration of phenol? Why? 2. All three of the nitrophenols have boiling points well above 200°C. Explain clearly why it was possible to distill something with such a high boiling point when the temperature of the distillate never rose much above 100°C. 3. What product did you actually obtain in the distillate?...
Draw the reaction mechanism for the nitration of methyl benzoate to methyl nitrobenzoate, please show all resonance structures for each possible substitution position to explain why methyl m-nitrobenzoate was the favored isomer.
In the nitration of methyl benzoate, an excess of nitric acid is used. Explain why the reaction stops at the single nitration and does not go on further to the double nitration.
Add the following questions to the final report: a) Why does the carbomethoxy group directs the reaction to positions that are meta to it? b) Why the formation of dinitrobenzaote is substantially disfavored ? c) Would you expect small amounts of the ortho and para substituted product? How would you remove them if they are formed ? d) Why does water have a retarding effect on the nitration ? e) Explain why Benzene has lower reactivity in electrophilic addition reactions...
In nitration of acetanilide(synthesis of p-nitroaniline) main product is ortho and para. Explain why ortho and para product is major in resonance and mechanism term.
draw a mechanism for methyl 3 benzoate
2. For the nitration of methyl benzoate: Which product did you get? What evidence doyou have for this? Wasyourproduct pure? Whatevidence do you have for this? Explain your a. b. evidence. c. Draw the mechanism for the product you got. d. Calculate percent yield. Show your work
4. Calculate the theoretical yield of product in the nitration of methyl benzoate if the reaction was begun with 0.400 g of methyl benzoate. (Show ALL work please.)

QUESTION 10 You perform a nitration reaction on this reactant It is a carboxylic acid COOH how fast do you think the reaction will occur relative to 7 Where do you think the new nitro group will be placed? Rate will be decreased. Nitro will be meta Rate will be decreased Nitro will be ortho or para Rate will be increased. Nitro will be meta Rate will be increased. Nitro will be ortho or para
