Give plausible explanation for:
(a) Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are stable.
(b) Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction.
(c) Aniline on nitration gives substantial meta product.
What is the major product of the reaction?
Aromatic hydrocarbons, sometimes known as arenes, are aromatic organic molecules made up entirely of carbon and hydrogen. In aromatic compounds a benzene ring which is named after the simple aromatic chemical benzene, or a phenyl group when part of a larger structure, is the configuration of six carbon atoms.

This reaction involves the replacement of one substituent on the ring of an aromatic hydrocarbon, commonly a hydrogen atom, by a different substituent group.
The common types of aromatic substitution reactions are:
In these types of reactions, the coupling of two fragments that have a radical nature is achieved with the help of a metal catalyst
