Which of the following statements is not correct regarding the aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions of aniline or its derivatives under standard laboratory conditions

Aniline, when subjected to bromination with $$\text{Br}_2$$ in water, undergoes rapid tribromination to form 2,4,6-tribromoaniline as the major product.

During direct nitration of aniline with a nitrating mixture, meta-substitution is observed predominantly due to protonation of the amino group under acidic conditions.

The acetamido group $$(-NHCOCH_{3})$$ being less basic than the amino group, shows a stronger mesomeric electron releasing effect and thus activates the ring more than the free amino group.

Acetylation of aniline reduces its reactivity towards electrophilic substitution and facilitates controlled monosubstitution at ortho and para positions.
