firstly aniline is a highly activating group......... when u add nitration mixture to aniline ,as the aniline activates the ring towards electrophilic substitution,it reacts so vigorously that it forms 2,4,6-trinitroaniline which is highly explosive .....slight warming is enough for explosion to happen......so direct nitration is not done.....
