Solution

Aniline does not undergo friedel craft reaction.

As we know aniline is weak base.

In Friedal craft reaction we use AlCl3 as a reagent along with alkyl/arylhalides.

AlCl3 is lewis acid.

When we add aniline to AlCl3

So, there is acid base reaction happens and formation of salt prevents the Friedal craft reaction.
