Write the mechanism of the reaction of methyl benzoate to form methyl 2-nitrobenzoate.
2 answers:
The question is partially incorrect, because nitration of <span> methyl benzoate results in generation of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate, and not methyl 2-benzoate.
This a because of the present of ester group, which deactivated benzene ring at ortho and para position. Due to this, the electrophile (NO2+) attackes on meta position.
The detailed mechanism is attached below.</span>

Answer:
See the attached picture.
Explanation:
Hello,
Nitration of alkyl benzenes is carried out adding both nitric and sulfuric acid to the organic reactant in order to promote the inclusion of the nitro group into the ring. Nonetheless, due to the steric hindrance such inclusion is not at the second carbon but at the third one. The addition of nitric acid promotes the attaching of the nitro group and the sulfuric acid shifts the equilibrium towards the nitration is it ionizes the nitric acid to nitronium ion NO₂⁺. The mechanism is shown on the attached picture.
Best regards.

<u>Answer:</u> The number of ions dissociated are
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
pH = 2.07
Calculating the value of pOH by using equation, we get:
To calculate hydroxide ion concentration, we use the equation to calculate pOH of the solution, which is:
We are given:
pOH = 11.93
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:
Molarity of solution =
Volume of solution = 1243 mL = 1.243 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
According to mole concept:
1 mole of a compound contains number of particles
So, number of
will contain =
number of ions
Hence, the number of ions dissociated are
