How can NMR be used to differentiate between the 2 nitration products?
How can NMR be used to tell the difference between the major and minor product of nitration of 4-methylacetanilide?4-methylacetanilide ------HNO3----> major + minor pdtsPlease explain how you know where the chemical shifts are and what are the names of the final pdts? Thank you very much!

How can NMR be used to differentiate between the 2 nitration products?
The acetamide is a better ortho/para director than the methyl group, so 2-nitro-4-methylacetanilide is the major product of the reaction and 3-nitro-4-methylacetanilide is the minor differentiation by NMR :for the 3-nitro-4-methylacetanilide on of the H atoms attached to the benzene ring will be shifted to higher [delta] because of the double inductive effect of the N atoms of both nitro and acetanilide groups which H lies in-between as the inductive effect of both of them extended to beta carbon (which our hydrogen is attached to )<br />
