The energy coordinate diagram below corresponds to the step illustrated in Figure 1: para addition of methyl benzoate to nitrilium ion. 3. a. Why is this process uphill? There are many answers, but there is one big one b. On the axis below, draw and label paths to formation of meta carbocation you drew on the previous page. Pay attention to the relative energies of starting materials, transition states and carbocation intermediates para addition Figure 1) Below is the aromatic region of a 'H NMR of your nitration product(s) before purification. Based on your H NMR analysis from prelab, 4. a. What is the major isomer formed in the nitration? On the spectrum, draw arrows pointing to the peaks corresponding to this isomer and label them. b. Two minor products are formed in addition to the major one. What are they? Label them on the spectrum.
