Question

Identify the CORRECT statements.

(I) Aniline reacts with bromine water at room temperature to give o-bromoaniline.

(II) Aniline undergoes Friedel Craft's reaction using aluminium chloride.

(III) Direct nitration of aniline yields, a mixture of ortho, meta and para nitro aniline.

(IV) Amino group is ortho and para directing and powerful ring activating group.

Answer 1

III, IV

Explanation:

At room temperature, aniline reacts with bromine water to form a white precipitate of 2, 4, 6-tribromoaniline.

Because aniline reacts with the catalyst aluminium chloride (Lewis acid) to generate a salt, it does not undergo Friedel Craft's reaction with aluminium chloride.
