What would you expect to be the major product obtained from the following reaction? Aniline with AlCl3 and CH3Cl.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the expected major product from a given chemical reaction involving aniline and aluminum chloride in chloromethane. The user needs to analyze the reaction conditions and possible products (I, II, III, IV, V) to determine the major product formed.
Answer
IV
The final answer is IV.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is IV.
More Information
Aniline forms a salt with AlCl3, deactivating electrophilic substitution. Friedel-Crafts alkylation is often hindered by such deactivation.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming straightforward Friedel-Crafts alkylation occurs, overlooking the deactivation caused by protonation of the amine.
