### Topic: Likely Inhibited Reaction in Organic Chemistry#### Question:**Explain in a sentence or two why the following reaction is not likely to occur.**#### Reaction Diagram:- **Reactant:** A benzene ring with a nitro group (NO₂) attached at the top (para position) and a methyl group (CH₃) to be potentially added at the opposite para position.- **Reagents:** - Methyl Chloride (CH₃Cl) - Aluminum Chloride (AlCl₃)### Analysis:In the provided reaction diagram, the reactant is a nitrobenzene ring, which is proposed to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction using methyl chloride (CH₃Cl) and aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) as the catalyst. ### Explanation:The reaction is not likely to occur because the nitro group (NO₂) attached to the benzene ring is a strong deactivating group. It withdraws electron density from the ring through both resonance and inductive effects, significantly reducing the electron density on the aromatic ring. Since Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions require a nucleophilic aromatic ring, the electron-deficient nature of nitrobenzene makes it highly resistant to such electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. As a result, the reaction is generally not successful.
