Q37.In the following reaction, the reason why meta-nitro product also formed is: (1) Formation of anilinium ion (2) -NH2 group is highly meta-directive (3) -NO2 substitution always takes place at meta- (4) low temperature position

What This Question Tests

This question explains the formation of meta-nitroaniline during the nitration of aniline, attributing it to the protonation of the amino group in acidic medium to form the meta-directing anilinium ion.
