MCQ
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:

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • B
     Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is false
  • C

  •  Both statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true

Answer

Correct option: D.
 Both statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
d
- 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.
