Which of the following does not undergo the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction?

A

Aniline

B

Nitrobenzene

C

Anisole

D

Both (1) and (2)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4
Aniline forms a complex with `AIX_(3)` through lone pair on nitrogen.
`C_(6)H_(5)overset(delta)(N)H_(2)..overset(delta-)(Al)X_(3)`
Nitro group is a strong deactivator, Thus the `e^(-)` density in nitrobenzne is to less to be attacked by an electrophile.
