Amino group is o, p-directing for electrophilic substitution reaction. But, on nitration the major product is m-nitroaniline because
- aniline gets protonated with strong acids to give anilinium ion which is m-directing
- nitration requires nitric acid which oxidises –NH2 to –NO2 group
- electrophile NO2+ is a m-directing group
- benzene ring exerts + I effect and deactivates the ring.
Answer
(A) aniline gets protonated with strong acids to give anilinium ion which is m -directing
