Using ChemDraw, Draw the structures of the three carbonation intermediates that would form if methyl benzoate initiated in each of the possible positions (ortho, matter, para) copy and paste the structure to Chem 3-D and using MOPAC minimizing the energy of each structure to obtain the heat of formation. Do the heat of formation of the intermediate agree with the experimental results of the nitration in the lab?

Question

the synthesis of methyl-m-nitrobenzene lab..     

Using ChemDraw, Draw the structures of the three carbonation intermediates that would
form if methyl benzoate initiated in each of the possible positions (ortho, matter, para)
copy and paste the structure to Chem 3-D and using MOPAC minimizing the energy of
each structure to obtain the heat of formation. Do the heat of formation of the
intermediate
agree
with the experimental results of the nitration in the lab?
