Question

1) Which of the following makes it difficult to monobrominate aniline:

A)The ring is too activated due to the electron donation of the N via its lone pair.

B)The basicity of the N interferes in a Lewis acid/base sense.

C)The ring is too deactivated due to the electron withdrawal of the N because of its electronegativity

D) The basicity of the N interferes in a Bronsted acid/base sense.

2) Which of the following makes it difficult to acylate aniline via Friedel-Crafts acylation:

A) The basicity of the N interferes in a Bronsted acid/base sense.

B) The ring is too deactivated due to the electron withdrawal of the N because of its electronegativity.

C) The basicity of the N interferes in a Lewis acid/base sense.

D) The ring is too activated due to the electron donation of the N via its lone pair.

3) Which of the following makes it difficult to nitrate only the ortho or para positions of aniline:

A)The ring is too deactivated due to the electron withdrawal of the N because of its electronegativity.

B)The ring is too activated due to the electron donation of the N via its lone pair.

C)The basicity of the N interferes in a Lewis acid/base sense.
