From what the internet shows, you convert toluene into nitro-toluene, not the other way around. Further, the reagents used to do that are generally things that will allow the toluene to oxidize.
The most reactive site of 2-nitro toluene is its 4th position which is para to methyl group and meta to nitro group.
2-nitro toluene may under go electrophilic substitution reactions as Nitration, Halogenation at 4th position.
Blowing things up - TNT
Tri-nitro toluene. Toluene is a benzene ring with a methyl group attached. The nitration of this to TNT occurs at the 2,4,6 positions.
TNT is a three letter acronym for Tri nitro toluene.
Tri Nitro Toluene ... Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a chemical compound with the formula C6H2(NO2)3CH3.
TNT or Tri Nitro Toluene is an explosive which can be used for blowing up just about anything. TNT is also a song by AC/DC and it will blow your brains apart.
Of course not. Compare a pound of candle-wax or whale-oil to a pound of tri-nitro-toluene (TNT) or a pound of Uranium-235.
mulliken's test is for detection of mono nitro group in ur compound. test :compound +zn dust+nh4cl+alcohol---->heat,filter,filtrae +tollens reagent ---->black ppt,nitro present
When you fall in love, from a biological point of view, your brain releases a large amount of the hormone called Tri-Nitro-Toluene. If you have a weak heart this hormone can interfere with normal function and cause a heart attack.
Hi ,As you know from the structures of both the compounds that toluene has a methyl group on the benzene ring which is electron releasing group and hence activate the benzene ring by pushing the elctrons on the benzene ring. On the other hand nitro group on the benzene ring is electron withdrawing group which deactivates the benzene ring by withdrawing the electrons from the benzene ring . Now in the nitration attack of the nucleophile ( NO2 +) takes place. Hence reaction will takes place on that benzene faster which have more electron density on its ring which is the case of toluene.
