Aniline undergoes diazotization with NaNO2\text{NaNO}_2/HCl to give compound A. Compound A reacts with fluoroboric acid to give compound B. When B is heated with aq. NaNO2\text{NaNO}_2 in the presence of copper, it forms compound C. Identify C.

Options

  1. AAr−F\text{Ar} - \text{F}
  2. BAr−Cl\text{Ar} - \text{Cl}
  3. CAr−H\text{Ar} - \text{H}
  4. DAr−NO2\text{Ar} - \text{NO}_2

Correct answer

D. Ar−NO2\text{Ar} - \text{NO}_2

Step-by-step solution

Aniline reacts with NaNO2\text{NaNO}_2 and HCl\text{HCl} at 0−5∘C0-5^{{}^{\circ}}\text{C} to undergo diazotization, forming benzenediazonium chloride (Compound A).

Ar−NH2→NaNO2/HClAr−N2+Cl−\text{Ar}-\text{NH}_2 \xrightarrow{\text{NaNO}_2/\text{HCl}} \text{Ar}-\text{N}_2^+\text{Cl}^- (A)

Benzenediazonium chloride reacts with fluoroboric acid (HBF4\text{HBF}_4) to yield benzenediazonium fluoroborate (Compound B).

Ar−N2+Cl−→HBF4Ar−N2+BF4−\text{Ar}-\text{N}_2^+\text{Cl}^- \xrightarrow{\text{HBF}_4} \text{Ar}-\text{N}_2^+\text{BF}_4^- (B)

When benzenediazonium fluoroborate is heated with aqueous NaNO2\text{NaNO}_2 in the presence of copper, the diazonium group is replaced by a nitro group, forming nitrobenzene (Compound C).

Ar−N2+BF4−→NaNO2,Cu,ΔAr−NO2\text{Ar}-\text{N}_2^+\text{BF}_4^- \xrightarrow{\text{NaNO}_2, \text{Cu}, \Delta} \text{Ar}-\text{NO}_2 (C)

Thus, Compound C is Ar−NO2\text{Ar}-\text{NO}_2.

Answer: Ar−NO2\text{Ar} - \text{NO}_2
