NEET2013ChemistryHydrocarbonsActual
In the reaction, A is
Options
- AHgSO ₄ / H ₂ SO ₄
- BCu ₂ Cl ₂
- CH ₃ PO ₂ and H ₂ O
- DH ⁺ / H ₂ O
Correct answer
C. H ₃ PO ₂ and H ₂ O
Step-by-step solution
When diazonium salt is treated with H ₃ PO ₂ followed by hydrolysis, it diazonium group is replaced by - H resulting to the formation of hydrocarbon. Thus, A must be H ₃ PO ₂ / H ₂ O .
