Question
Account for the following:
Aniline cannot be prepared by the ammonolysis of chlorobenzene under normal conditions.
Solution
In case of chlorobenzene, the C – Cl bond is quite difficult to break as it acquires a partial double bond character due to conjugation. So Under the normal conditions, ammonolysis of chlorobenzene does not yield aniline.
