In a previous video, we produced toxic benzene. Now it's time to build off that toxic starting point and make another toxic chemical, but it's a better-smelling one.
Nitrobenzene is best known as the chemical that gets hydrogenated to aniline. It can be made into other chemicals and serve different purposes, such as fragrances and as a solvent, but these are outshined by the use of producing aniline; some 95% of Nitrobenzene is used in aniline production.
Today, we will do some organic chemistry to produce nitrobenzene, explore the properties of nitrobenzene, do some troubleshooting, and then analyze the product via GC-Mass Spec.
