Which would be the major product(s) of the following reaction?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the major product(s) of a chemical reaction involving a compound and nitro and sulfuric acid, requiring knowledge of organic chemistry and the impact of substituents on reactivity.
Answer
I
The final answer is I.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is I.
More Information
The reaction shown is a nitration reaction typically using HNO3 and H2SO4, known as mixed acid, to introduce a nitro group onto an aromatic ring. The methoxy group is ortho-para directing and activating, so the nitration occurs at the para position relative to the methoxy group, forming compound I.
Tips
A common mistake is ignoring the activating effect of methoxy groups, which direct electrophilic substitution to the para position.
