Procedure

The nitration of benzene with nitrating acid (mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid) to form nitrobenzene in step a) generally takes place by a process from the prior art, e.g. according to EP-A-436 443. The nitration can take place with elimination of heat of reaction, e.g. isothermally, or adiabatically.
