Which of the following is a Gattermann reaction?
Options
- AAr N ₂⁺ X ⁻ CuCl / HCl ArCl + N ₂
- BAr N ₂⁺ X ⁻ HBF ₄ ArN ₂⁺ BF ₄⁻ ArF + N ₂ + BF ₃
- CAr N ₂⁺ X ⁻ Cu / HBr ArBr + N ₂
- DAr N ₂⁺ X ⁻ KI ArI + N ₂ + KX
Correct answer
C. Ar N ₂⁺ X ⁻ Cu / HBr ArBr + N ₂
Step-by-step solution
In Gattermann reaction, chlorine or bromine can be introduced in the arene ring by treating the arene diazonium salt solution with corresponding halogen acid in the presence of copper powder.
