In Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aniline, one gets:

In Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aniline, one gets:In Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aniline, one gets:

Options

  1. Aalkylated product with ortho and para substitution.
  2. Bsecondary amine after acidic treatment.
  3. Can amide product.
  4. Dpositively charged nitrogen at benzene ring.

Correct answer

D. positively charged nitrogen at benzene ring.

Step-by-step solution

Aniline does not undergo Friedel-crafts reaction due to salt formation with aluminium chloride, the Lewis acid, which is used as a catalyst, whereas aniline is a strong base. So, an acid-base reaction will take place. Thus, aniline reacts with AlCl3AlC{l}_{3} to form a salt.
In Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aniline, one gets:
Due to the positive charge on the nitrogen atom (shows −I- I effect and it is meta directing), electrophilic substitution in the benzene ring is deactivated. Hence, the Friedel-Crafts reaction will not take place in aniline.
