25. Under the conditions described below, nitrobenzene undergoes a transformation to give a mixture of three isomeric disubstituted benzenes T, U and V. i) Draw the molecules T, U and V ii) Predict the amount of each of the isomeric products T, U and V produced. (A very general approximation of 'lots' or 'very little' will suffice in each case). iii) Draw a mechanism for the formation of the major isomer, drawing all resonance structures of the Wheland intermediate where appropriate. iv) Rationalise your proposed product distribution. ia NO₂ CI AICI 3 T U V
