- Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
- Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The NH2 group in aniline is a strong electron-donating group, making it ortho and para directing in electrophilic aromatic substitution. Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reactions due to the formation of a complex with AlCl3, deactivating the benzene ring.
