Researcher were surprised to conduct the nitration of naphthalene-l,8-diamine (ND) with 1 equivalent of nitric acid and sulfuric acid catalyst and obtain only the 4-nitro-ND product and NONE of the 3-nitro-ND product that they expected. Using an understanding of the reaction conditions and the mechanism of electrophilic nitration, explain the formation of 4-nitro-ND as the major product. Why did the researchers expect the 3-nitro-ND product to be the major product? Why is the 4-nitro- ND product a surprise?
