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:

  1. A Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are false
  2. B  Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is false
  3. C Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is true
  4. D  Both statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D)  Both statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

- Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction due to salt formation with aluminium chloride, the Lewis acid, which is used as a catalyst. - Aniline (aromatic primary amine) cannot be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with anion formed by phthalimide.
