Friedel-Craft's reaction

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Craft's reaction because the lone pair on the nitrogen atom of the $-NH_2$ group forms a coordinate bond with the Lewis acid (catalyst) like $AlCl_3$. This results in the formation of a positively charged species on the nitrogen atom,which acts as a strong deactivating group for the aromatic ring,thereby preventing the reaction.
