JEE Main 2024 Chemistry question
Given below are two statements: Statement (I): The NH group in Aniline is ortho and para directing and a powerful activating group. Statement (II): Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Craft's reaction (alkylation and acylation). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Answer: (A)
Solution
–NH is o/p-directing and strongly activating; it forms a salt with AlCl, so Friedel–Crafts fails.
