    Aniline does not undergo Friedel craft's reactions because the reagent AICI3 (the Lewis acid which is used as a catalyst in friedel crafts reaction), being electron deficient acts as a Lewis acid and attacks on the lone pair of nitrogen present in aniline to form an insoluble complex which precipitates out and the reaction does not proceed.
