Question

Which of the following compound will not undergo azo coupling reaction with benzene diazonium chloride?

Options

  • Aniline

  • Phenol

  • Anisole

  • Nitrobenzene

MCQ

Solution

Nitrobenzene

Explanation:

Diazonium cation is a weak electrophile and hence reacts with electron-rich compounds containing electron-donating groups such as \[\ce{^-OH, ^-NH2}\] and \[\ce{^-OCH3}\] groups and not with compounds containing electron-withdrawing groups such as \[\ce{^-NO2}\], etc.
