Question:
Para-nitrosation of N,N-dimethylaniline (C-nitrosation) is believed to take place through an electrophilic attack by N+O ions.
(a) Show how N+O ions might be formed in an aqueous solution of NaNO2 and HCl.
(b) Write a mechanism for p-nitrosation of N,N-dimethylaniline.
(c) Tertiary aromatic amines and phenols undergo C-nitrosation reactions, whereas most other benzene derivatives do not. How can you account for this difference?
