(A) `p-O_(2)N-C_(6)H_(4)COCH_(3)` is prepared by Friedel Crafts acylation of nitrobenzene.
(R) Nitrobenzene easily undergoes electrophilic substitution reaction.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The nitro group strongly deactivates the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution. Nitrobenzene does not undergo Friedel-Craft acylation reaction

Benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons, though contain pi -bonds, yet they behave as saturated hydrocarbons. They are stable because of delocalisation of cloud. These undergo electrophilic substitution reactions as : C_(6)H_(5)-H + YZ to C_(6)H_(5)Y +HZ The reactivity of aromatic hydrocarbons towards electrophilic substitution depends upon the electron density in the benzene ring Which reagent cannot be used in Friedel Craft alkylation of benzene?
