Reaction Steps
Aniline (C6H5NH2) is mainly produced in industry in two steps from benzene. First, benzene is nitrated using a concentrated mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid at 50 to 60° C., which gives nitrobenzene. In the second step, the nitrobenzene is hydrogenated, typically at 200-300° C. in presence of various metal catalysts.
