The compound 'A' having the molecular formula C8H10 gives on nitration with cold concentrated nitric acid two isomeric compounds B and C having molecular formula C8H9NO2. On oxidation A gives C7H6O2 (D). B and C on oxidation give the isomers E and F respectively. Identify the compounds A to F.
Please answer the above as soon as possible....
The reactions are as follows:
so the names of compounds from A to F are:
A is Ethylbenzene
B is o-nitroethylbenzene
C is p-nitroethylbenzene
D is Benzoic acid
E and F are o-nitrobenzoic acid and p-nitrobenzoic acid respectively.
