      Account for the following. (i) Aniline does not undergo Frieda-Crafts reaction. (ii) Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is preferred for synthesizing primary amines.                                  [1]

    Answer:

      (i) Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction (alkylation and acetylation) as it forms salt with AICI3 (catalyst, Lewis acid) ? group (electron-pair donor, Lewis base) acquires positive charge and thus - group in aniline becomes deactivating group for further reaction. [1]   (ii)           In the above method, when R?X reacts with NH3 1°, 2°, 3° amines and quaternary ammonium salt is formed. In Gabriel phthalimide reaction, two H of NH3 are blocked by phthalimide formation (only one H is left reactive), hence 1° amine is formed. [1]
