(f) Methyl benzene (toluene) reacts with NO₂+ ions in strongly acidic solution, formed by a nitrating mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid. NO₂ 0 °C + NO₂* H* CH3 CH3 Name the aromatic product of this reaction [1%] (g) Draw the mechanism for this reaction using curly arrows [4%] (h) Sketch the ¹H NMR spectrum of phenol. Your answer should indicate the number of distinct ¹H environments (the multiplicity of each resonance peak is not required) [3%] (i) Predict, with reasoning, whether you expect the reactivity of phenol towards NO₂+ ions to be greater than the reaction involving methylbenzene.
