Best Answer

The nitrogen group is electron withdrawing and therefore deactivates the ring. So, friedel crafts reaction will not take place.

This is because, the the lewis acids ie. AlCl3 or FeCl3 readily interacts with the lone on nitrogen in pyridine due to which electrophile ie. CH3CO+ or CH3CH2+ is not get generated and rxn doesn't happens. And instead of desired product we something else that we don't want...

Why aniline doesn't under go friedal craft reaction?

Aniline doesnt undergo friedel craft rxn because the reagent AlCl3,(the lewis acid which is used as a catalyst in friedel crafts reaction).being e- deficient acts as lewis base and attacks on the lone pair of nitrogen present in aniline & aniline forms a salt with Aluminium chloride. Due to this nitrogen atom of aniline acquires a positive charge and hence acts as a strong deactivating group and thus doesn 't allow the reaction to take place.In other cases ther is no such reaction.
