    Which of the following cant be used in Friedel-Crafts reaction?

    A) \[FeC{{l}_{3}}\]            

    B)  \[FeB{{r}_{2}}\]

    C) \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]            

    D)  \[NaCl\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[FeC{{l}_{3}},FeB{{r}_{2}}\]and\[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]are  used  in Friedel-Crafts reaction because they act as Lewis acid since they are electron deficient in nature. However cations such as\[N{{a}^{+}},{{K}^{+}}\]have a very little tendency, to accept electrons due to inert gas configuration. Therefore, cant be used in Friedel-Craft reaction.
