The nitrations of p-chlorotoluene and p-chloroisopropylbenzene with nitric acid in acetic anhydride have been studied.The product composition from the nitration of p-chlorotoluene in acetic anhydride when examined alongwith the previously known product compositions obtained from the nitrations of p-chlorotoluene in varying percentages of sulphuric acid gave information of the degree of attack by the nitronium ion at various positions in p-chlorotoluene.The relative rates of nitrations at various nuclear positions for chlorobenzene could then be calculated.Results from nitration of p-chloroisopropylbenzene were found to be in agreement with these values.
