Chemistry - AMINES Question with Solution | TestHub
Given below are two statements:
Statement (I) : The group in Aniline is ortho and para directing and a powerful activating group.
Statement (II) : Aniline does not undergo FriedelCraft's reaction (alkylation and acylation).
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
is a highly activating group in organic chemistry due to its electron-donating nature. It is often used in synthetic chemistry to increase the reactivity of aromatic compounds towards electrophilic substitution reactions.
Aniline forms salt with the Lewis acid catalyst i.e., , which is used in Friedel-Crafts reaction.
Nitrogen of aniline acquires a positive charge and hence acts as a strong deactivating group for further reaction.
The group in Aniline is ortho and para directing and a powerful activating group as has strong effect.
Hence, both statements are correct.
