Detailed Solution
Nitration mixture is conc. HNO3+conc.H2SO4 . In acidic medium, -NH2 group protonates to -NH3+-N+H3 is a strong EWG due to -I effect. So when aniline is subjected to direct nitration only 2% of ortho nitro derivative is obtained about 47% of meta nitro derivative and 51% of para nitro derivative are obtained
