    Why does not aniline take part in the Friedel Craft reaction?

    Answer:

                    In aniline, the electron pair on the amino group \[(-\overset{\centerdot \,\,\centerdot }{\mathop{N}}\,{{H}_{2}})\]  co-ordinates with \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]  (Lewis acid) to form a salt \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\overset{\oplus }{\mathop{N}}\,{{H}_{2}}AlC{{l}_{3}}\]. As a result, the ring is not properly activated and the Friedel Craft reaction does not take place.
