Which of the following will be most stable diazonium salt R N 2 + X - ?
Options
- AC H 3 C H 2 N 2 + X -
- BC 6 H 5 N 2 + X -
- CC 6 H 5 C H 2 N 2 + X -
- DC H 3 N 2 + X -
Correct answer
B. C 6 H 5 N 2 + X -
Step-by-step solution
Primary aliphatic amines form highly unstable alkyl diazonium salts. Primary aromatic amines form arene diazonium salts which are stable for a short time in solution at low temperature (273 – 278 K). The stability of arene diazonium can be explained on the basis of resonance.
