Which of the following compounds will not undergo Friedel -Craft's reaction easily?

  • Cumene

  • Xylene

Answer

Nitro group being electron withdrawing, deactivates the benzene nucleus to such an extent so that it becomes incapable to give Friedel -Crafts reaction.
Nitrobenzene because of its unreactivity towards Friedel-Craft's reaction is used as a solvent for this reaction.
