Amoungthe followingstatementson thenitrationofaromaticcompoundsthe falseone is

Answer»

the rateof NITRATIONOF benzeneis almostthe same asthat ofhexadeuterobenzne
the rateof nitration of tolueneis GREATERTHAN thatofbenzne
the rateof nitrationofbenzeneis greaterthan that ofhexadeuterobenzne
nitration is anelectrophilicsubstitutionreaction

Solution :Since `.^(+) NO_(2)` ISAN electrophile so nitratin iselectrophilicsubstitutionrection .
Nitration in the toluene inis greaterbecauseof electron- repelling(+ 1) N/Atureof `-CH_(3)`group .
Innitrationthe ratedetermining stepis the attackof `NO_(2) ^(+)`on benzeneand not thecleavageof `C- H ( orC- D^(2))` bond . the ratesof nitrationare almostsame.
