This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science
related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should
explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments
should further the discussion of math and science.
When posting on Brilliant:
Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Hmm, Nice way, Mynes was a bit longer :P. First added −COOH in the Ring. Then Nitration (2 eqv). Converted −NH2 to −NO2 and then to Diazonium Salt. Then CuCl ( 2eqv.) to make both of them Cl. Then added Red P, HI. Its all :P..
I know I am sillier than you. SO... silly method :(

The method you've shown seems to work fine but I have some queries.
1. After the first nitration, the ring will be highly deactivated so the chances of a second nitration are very low.
2. How do you reduce -NO2 to -NH2 is also important. (Sn/Fe + HCl) works just fine, while reduction using hydrogen will reduce the carboxylic group as well.
Rest of the reaction looks fine to me. :)

No... Not excelled :P... Yeah.. Nowadays.. Chemistry seems interesting and scoring too.. Realised that, One can score in chemistry the most.... So to qualify exams... I study it and now.. It seems quite interesting..... But still P>M>C :P...

Ohkay. Not that Bad. You are getting NIT. Now prepare for JEE Adv. to the fullest! And dont take much pressure... You were a Bio student. You managed Bio also in 12th.... So Your rank is quite nice!! :D

This method does not seem correct to me because when you do chlorination once on the aromatic ring then chlorine attributes (even though weakly) to activate the aromatic ring. The next chlorination will then happen at ortho or para position with respect to the first chlorine added and not at the meta site of the -CHO group.

You're welcome. Btw you're also a very talented individual I must say. Both of you. You've practiced physics way better than I have. I still get baffled by some of your problems @Aaron Jerry Ninan
