हिन्दीGiven 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:
Correct answer · Option 3
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Explanation
Statement I is true because aniline forms a complex with \( \text{AlCl}_3 \) (Lewis acid catalyst), placing a positive charge on nitrogen which deactivates the ring. Statement II is also true because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with phthalimide anion.
