Question

What is the product X obtained in the following reaction?

\[\ce{C6H5N2Cl ->[(i) HBF4, (ii) NaNO2/Cu][\Delta] X + N2 + NaBF4}\]

Options

• C₆H₅Cl

• C₆H₅F

• C₆H₅NO₂

• C₆H₅NH₂

Answer 1

C₆H₅NO₂

Explanation:

\[\ce{\underset{Phenyl diazonium chloride}{C6H5N2Cl} ->[HBF4] \underset{Fluorobenzene}{C6H5F} ->[NaNO2, Cu, \Delta] + \underset{\underset{(X)}{Nitrobenune}}{C6H5NO2} + NaBF4 + N2}\]
