Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Experimental reaction of with aniline and anhydrous does not give and -methylaniline.
Reason (R): The group of aniline becomes deactivating because of salt formation with anhydrous and hence yields -methyl aniline as the product.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Multiple Choice Options
- A Both A and R are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- B Both A and R are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
- C (A) is true, but (R) is false.
- D (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Aniline does not undergo Friedel Craft reaction because the reagent AlCl3 being electron deficient acts as a Lewis acid.
