Benzene ring in aniline is highly activated. This is due to the sharing of lone pair of nitrogen with the ring which results in increase in the electron density on the ring and hence facilitates the electrophilic attack. The substitution mainly takes place at ortho and para positions because electron density is more at ortho and para positions. On reaction with aqueous bromine all the ortho and para positions get substituted resulting in the formation of 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. To get a monobromo compound, the amino group is acetylated before bromination. After bromination, the bromoacetanilide is acid hydrolysed to give the desired halogenated amine. In the following questions, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices: Assertion (A): Benzene ring is aniline is highly deactivated. Reason (R): In aniline, the sharing of lone pair of nitrogen with the ring increases the electron density on the ring.
