The nitration of acetanilide is a chemical reaction where a nitro group is introduced into the acetanilide molecule. This process typically leads to the formation of nitroaniline derivatives.

Key Products of Nitration

When acetanilide undergoes nitration, the position of the nitro group is influenced by the electron-donating effect of the acetamido group. This results in the formation of:

  • O-nitroaniline
  • P-nitroaniline
  • O- and P-nitroaniline

Final Outcome

Upon hydrolysis, the acetanilide group is removed, leading to the formation of:

O-nitroaniline and P-nitroaniline as the main products. Therefore, the correct answer is:

(C) o- & p- nitroaniline

is Pradeep Chemistry+Ncert sufficient for all of the theory of Jee Mains Chemistry?


Hi, I’m a self-study JEE 2027 aspirant with a large 11th backlog. Since I don’t think 6–8 hour one-shots are sufficient to cover the full theory + breadth of problem types of a JEE chapter, I’ve shifted from lecture-based preparation to book-based self-study.


I have a problem with using NCERT as my primary chemistry source. In my experience, it is concise and information-heavy, but often lacks detailed explanations, systematic organisation of concepts, and categorisation of problem types. This seems especially problematic for Physical and Organic Chemistry, where I feel that simply reading NCERT may not give enough depth or problem-solving preparation.


So I’m considering this approach:


Pradeep Chemistry → complete the chapter thoroughly from Pradeep → then read NCERT for that chapter → solve JEE Main PYQs/problems.


My main question is:


Is Pradeep + NCERT sufficient as the complete theory source for JEE Main-level Chemistry?


In other words, after thoroughly completing a chapter from Pradeep and then NCERT, can I consider the theory part of that chapter complete for JEE Main, with only PYQs/problem practice remaining?


I’m asking specifically about JEE Main level, not Advanced.


Also, if Pradeep is not sufficient, what specific gap does it leave, and what would you recommend as a better book-based alternative for self-study?
