Hi all, any guidence with this question would be much appreciated.
Q. states:
Write a mechanism and draw an energy diagram of the reaction , for the
mono-substitution reaction of benzene with an electrophile, NO2+ ion.
Could we consider this reaction as a nitration of benzene resulting in the formation of nitro benzene?
and would it be considered an
SN1 reaction?
cheers
