What by products would you expect from the nitration of methyl benzoate?

Benzoate indicates a COO- group attached to the benzene ring. This is a deactivating group and deactivates the benzene ring as well as is a meta directing group. Hence, two products could form. 1. Monosubstitution - results in 3-nitromethylbenzoate 2. Disubstitution - results in 3,5-dinitromethylbenzoate

the ester formed is methyl benzoate which is also known as oil of wintergreen


Why to keep temperature low in nitration reaction?

To prevent di-nitration of the methy benzoate because COOMe group attached to the aromatic ring is deacitvating, hence, plus the deactivating NO2 group, a higher temperature and more acidic condition would be required to add another NO2 to the 5th carbon of the aromatic ring of the methyl 3-nitrobenzoate
