Given below are two statements : In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
- Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Answer
(1) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Solution
–NH2: lone pair of N delocalised into the ring (+R) ⇒ high electron density at o/p ⇒ Statement I is correct
C6H5NH2 + AlCl3 C6H5 +NH2- -AlCl3 (salt)
∵ positive N now strongly withdraws electrons ⇒ ring deactivated ⇒ no Friedel-Crafts reaction ⇒ Statement II is correct
Answer: (1)
