Which among the following is true for Balz-Schiemann reaction?
Options
- AIn this Ar - Cl is obtained from Ar - N ₂⁺ X ⁻
- BIt is useful for preparation of nitrobenzene from benzene diazonium salts
- CIn this Ar - CN is obtained from Ar - N ₂⁺ X ⁻
- DIn this Ar - F is obtained from Ar - N ₂⁺ X ⁻
Correct answer
D. In this Ar - F is obtained from Ar - N ₂⁺ X ⁻
Step-by-step solution
Balz-Schiemann Reaction: When arene-diazonium chloride is prepared with fluoroboric acid, arene diazonium fluoroborate is precipitated and decomposes to yield aryl fluoride which on heating.
