Given below are two statements : one is labeled as Assertion (A) and the other is labeled as
Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Experimental reaction of CH3Cl with aniline and anhydrous AlCl3 does not give O and P-methylaniline.
Reason (R) : The -NH2 groups of aniline becomes deactivating because of salt formation with anhydrous AlCl3 and hence yields m-methyl aniline as the product.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

(A) is true, but (R) is false.
Option 4 -
(A) is true, but (R) is false.

1 Answer
-
Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:Aniline makes adduct with AlCl3 and thus gets deactivated for electrophilic aromatic substitution and do not react with CH3-Cl
