Aniline undergoes diazotization with NaNO_2 /HCl to give compound...
Aniline undergoes diazotization with /HCl to give compound A. Compound A reacts with fluoroboric acid to give compound B. When B is heated with aq. in the presence of copper, it forms compound C. Identify C.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Aniline reacts with and at to undergo diazotization, forming benzenediazonium chloride (Compound A).
(A)
Benzenediazonium chloride reacts with fluoroboric acid () to yield benzenediazonium fluoroborate (Compound B).
(B)
When benzenediazonium fluoroborate is heated with aqueous in the presence of copper, the diazonium group is replaced by a nitro group, forming nitrobenzene (Compound C).
(C)
Thus, Compound C is .
