The following questions apply to the Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (EAS) Nitration of Methyl Benzoate which yields Methyl m-Nitrobenzoate as the product:1) Draw and name the other possible EAS mono-nitration products that may be formed in addition to the desired methyl m-nitrobenzoate.2) If you perform an EAS nitration reaction with methyl m-nitrobenzoate as the reactant, which isomer is the major product? (At which ring position do you expect substitution to occur?) Draw and name the expected product.3) Suggest two ways to determine if the impure methyl m-nitrobenzoate (before recrystallization) contains other substitution products as impurities.4) Discuss differences you'd expect to see in IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra of methyl benzoate vs. methyl m-nitrobenzoate that are consistent with the formation of the product in this procedure.

EAS reaction has been the reaction in which the Hydrogen atom of the aromatic ring has been replaced or substituted by the electrophilic group at the ortho, para, or meta position.

1. The reaction of Nitration of methyl benzoate will yield, methyl m- nitrobenzoate as the major product.

The minor products in the reaction will be the dinitro products. The mono nitration product will be

methyl o-nitrobenzoate
methyl p-nitrobenzoate.

2. The major product formed with the nitration of methyl meta nitrobenzoate has been the dinitro product.

3. The impurity in the methyl m nitrobenzoate can be determined with the determination of the melting point of the compound. The presence of the impurity will change the melting point of the product.

The purity can be determined with the proton NMR analysis, to confirm the product.

4. The difference expected in the NMR spectra of methyl benzoate and methyl m-nitrobenzoate has been the peaks with the methyl benzoate are predominated in the spectra will in the nitro compound, the peaks have been varied with the pi transitions in the structure.
