Question

How many of the following compounds will give Friedel Craft’s reaction?

Answer 1

Correct answer is:  3

Friedel Craft’s reaction is not given by those aromatic compounds which have strong deactivating groups like –NO₂ group. Even aniline does not give Friedel Crafts reaction because the Lewis acid AlCl₃ will from co-coordinate bond with –NH₂ group thus converting it into strongly deactivating group, Friedel Crafts reaction is given by
