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:
To solve this problem, we need to analyze both statements regarding aniline and its reactions.Statement I: Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction.⢠Friedel-Crafts alkylation requires a Lewis acid catalyst, such as AlCl⢠Aniline contains an amino group which is a strong Lewis base.⢠The amino group coordinates with the Lewis acid, deactivating the catalyst and preventing the reaction.⢠Therefore, aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation.Thus, Statement I is correct.Statement II: Aniline cannot be prepared through Gabriel synthesis.⢠Gabriel synthesis is used to prepare primary amines from alkyl halides.⢠It involves the use of phthalimide, which reacts with an alkyl halide to form an N-alkylphthalimide.⢠The N-alkylphthalimide is then hydrolyzed to produce a primary amine.⢠However, Gabriel synthesis is not suitable for preparing aryl amines like aniline.⢠This is because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions required in Gabriel synthesis.Thus, Statement II is correct.Both statements are true, so the correct answer is Option 3.
