Consider the following statements Phenyl diazonium forms azodye with 1 . aniline 2 . phenol 3 . N, N-dimethylaniline 4 . anisole (methoxybenzene)
Options
- A2 , 3 and 4 are correct
- B1 , 3 and 4 are correct
- C1 , 2 and 4 are correct
- D1 , 2 and 3 are correct
Correct answer
D. 1 , 2 and 3 are correct
Step-by-step solution
P h N + ≡ N is a weak electrophile that undergoes diazocoupling with rings activated by - O H , - N H 2 , N H R or - N R 2 . The ring is not sufficiently activated by - O C H 3 and hence, anisole does not form azodye.
