Given below are two statements: Statement I : Aniline does not...
Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction.
Statement II : Aniline cannot be prepared through Gabriel synthesis.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- BStatement I is correct but Statement II is false
- CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is true
- DBoth statement I and Statement II are true
Correct answer
D. Both statement I and Statement II are true
Step-by-step solution
- Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction due to salt formation with aluminium chloride, the Lewis acid, which is used as a catalyst.
- Aniline (aromatic primary amine) cannot be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with anion formed by phthalimide.
