Give reasons for the following in one or two sentences "Nitrobenzene does not undergo Friedel-Craft's alkylation."

Explanation

In nitrobenzene, the `(-NO_(2))` group is attached with the carbon of the benzene ring. Such a group dectivates the benzene ring to such an extent that alkylation by `overset(o+)(C) H_(3)` or aclation by `CH_(3) - overset(o+)(C) = O` does not take place.
