Benzoic acid does not undergo Friedel\u2013Crafts reaction because the carboxyl group is meta-directing and deactivating in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. It directs incoming electrophiles to the meta position, making the reaction difficult to carry out.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Reason (R) is also true. The carboxyl group in benzoic acid is deactivating and meta-directing due to its electron-withdrawing nature. Additionally, aluminum chloride, the catalyst for Friedel\u2013Crafts reaction, can form a complex with the carboxyl group, leading to a decreased reactivity in the reaction.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Therefore, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) provides a valid explanation for Assertion (A).<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assertion (A) : Benzoic acid does not undergo Friedel \u2013 Crafts reaction.
