if 3-methylphenol when reacted with dil nitric acid than mononitration happen. will the product obtained under mononitration if again reacted with dil nitric acid will undergo rkn to lead dinitration.

Solution

When 3-Methylnitrophenol,is treated with dilute nitric acid then a mixture of ortho and para isomer i.e., 3-Methyl-2-nitrophenol and 3-Methyl-4-nitrophenol will be produced. On further nitration dinitration occurs and product formed will be 3-Methyl-2,4-dinitrophenol.
