Write the mechanism of the reaction of methyl benzoate to form methyl 2-nitrobenzoate.

Galina-37 [17]

The question is partially incorrect, because nitration of 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.
