Abstract Competitive nitrations of two pairs of aromatic substrates were carried out in order to clarify the effect of several methods of mixing on the observed relative rates. The experimental results indicate that a commercially available four‐jet mixer for rapid reaction could not achieve homogeneous mixing in the competitive nitration of aromatic substrates in aqueous sulfuric acid.
