Question
b) You wanted to produce 2-nitrobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid. For that purpose, you started
the reaction with an alkylation of benzoic acid, then you did a nitration using nitric acid.
Finally, oxidation using KMNO4 was performed to obtain the final product. However, the
desired product was not obtained. Analyse the reaction by explaining what happened to
the reaction and provide a correct synthetic method.
