Aniline does not undergo Friedel-craft reaction due to salt formation with anhy. aluminium chloride (the lewis acid) which is used as a catalyst.
Gabriel synthesis is used for the preparation of aliphatic primary amines only. Aromatic primary amines cannot be prepared by this method because aryl halide do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with the anion formed by phthalimide.
