Question

Give one example of an artificial sweetener used by the diabetic patients. 1

Direct nitration of aniline is not carried out. Explain why? 1What type of linkage holds together the monomers of D.N.A.?

Answer 1

1. Sucralose is used as an artificial sweatner by diabetic patients.

2. Aniline contains -NH₂ group which is activating group i.e. shows both +I and +R effect due to which electron density at ortho and para positions increases comparatively. So on nitration we get multiple products.

3. Monomers of DNA are held togather by phosphodiester bonds.
