Vedclass · Answer

(A) The correct answer is $A$.In nitrobenzene,the $-NO_2$ group is a powerful electron-withdrawing group,which significantly reduces the electron density of the benzene ring.Friedel-Crafts acylation is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction that requires an electron-rich aromatic ring to react with the acylium ion $(CH_3CO^+)$.Due to the strong deactivating effect of the $-NO_2$ group,nitrobenzene fails to undergo Friedel-Crafts acylation.Therefore,only benzene reacts with acetyl chloride in the presence of $AlCl_3$ to form acetophenone.
