Dear Student,
Nitration taken after by diminishment of toluene 
Nitration of chlorobenzene and related subordinates and decrease of the nitration items gives aniline subsidiaries,. 
toluene on oxidtaion will give benzoic corrosive, now nitrate it, n then after decarboxylation, diminish NO2 to NH2...u'll get aniline from toluene. 
Cheers!!
