What are benzene and toluene? Explain their structure and prope... | Filo

SOLVED: How reactive are the different sites in toluene? Nitration of toluene produces the three possible products in the ratios shown. What would be the ratios if all the sites were equally reactive? What is the actual relative reactivity of the three sites? You could express this as X:y or as abc where a b c=100. Comment on the ratio you deduce:NO2Me NO2MeHNO3 H2SO4NO2 3790 yield5990 yield490 yield
