Explanation
Nitration takes place in presence of concentrated
HNO3 + concentrated H2SO4.
In strongly acidic nitration medium, the amine is converted into anilinium ion (– NH3+ ); substitution is thus controlled not by – NH2 group but by – NH3+ group which, because of its positive charge, directs the entering group to the meta-position instead of ortho and para._en_9_5.png)
