The nitro group attached to benzene shows - I and - R effect... Due to which electron density decreases in the benzene ring... And we know that in fridel craft reactions the electrophile attacks on the ring... SO due to unavailability of electrons in benzene ring fridel craft reactions are not possible... Hope U like it
