Mechanisms of Benzene

Saranga Varma, Gauri Sharma

Abstract: Nitrobenzene is formed when benzene interacts with nitric and sulfuric acids. In this case, the reaction involves an electrophilic aromatic substitution. Nitrating benzene substitutes for one hydrogen atom is impactful on the mechanism. Sodium ions are formed when nitric acid interacts with sulfuric acid. Benzene - ring delocalized electrons resist chlorine - chlorine bonds when the chlorine molecule is approaching the benzene ring, which is a ring of carbon. The chlorine molecule's electrophone is the slightly positive end.
