Thanks so much. m-nitro sodium benzoate seems the likely product. God bless you.

In Organic Chemistry class, we did nitration of sodium benzoate, because methyl benzoate was unavailable. Only information on methyl benzoate nitration seems to be available. Does anyone have any info on this reaction (product [ortho, para, meta, etc.), reaction mechanism, etc.)? I see only information on methyl benzoate. Thanks.
