What happens when aniline is treated with methyl chloride in presence

1.	What happens when aniline is treated with methyl chloride in presence of AlCl_3 ?
Answer» It under GOES friedel craft reaction to form a mixture of P - methyl and O-methyl aniline. It DOSE not undergo friedel craft reaction because AlCl, reacts with aniline instead of reactingwith alkyl HALIDE. Aniline gets POSITIVE charge and deactivated for electrophilic substitution. Both b and c Solution :The lone pair of electrons on N MAKES aniline to react with `AlCl_3` hence is not available to for forming `CH_3^(oplus)`
