Nitrobenzene is an organic compound. It is the simplest aromatic nitro compound. These chemicals are also called nitrobenzenes. It has the chemical formula C6H5NO2.

Production

Nitrobenzene is made by adding a nitronium cation to a benzene ring. The nitronium is an electrophile attracted to the aromatic ring of the benzene. This reaction is a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution. The nitronium is normally made from nitric acid and another strong acid like sulfuric acid.[1]

Uses

Nitrobenzene can be reduced into aniline. The nitro group reacts with hydrogen gas and a catalyst like Raney nickel.[2]
