Chlorobenzene can be prepared by reacting benzene diazonium chloride with:
Chlorobenzene can be prepared by reacting benzene diazonium chloride with:
- A. \( H C l \)
- B. \( C u_{2} C l_{2} \)
- C. \( C l_{2} / A l C l_{3} \)
- D. \( H N O_{2} \)
Step-by-step solution
Benzene diazonium chloride undergoes the Sandmeyer reaction with cuprous chloride (Cu2Cl2) to replace the diazonium group with a chlorine atom, forming chlorobenzene.
