Select the correct statements regarding the final product \( (Y) \) This question has multiple correct options

  • A. It can be identified with neutral \( F e C l_{3} \) solution
  • B. On treatment with Zn-dust it yields a product having degree of unsaturation \( =4 \)
  • C. It undergoes coupling reaction with benzene diazonium chloride at low temperature \( \left(0-5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right) \) in slightly basic medium
  • D. It liberates \( H_{2} \) gas with Na

Step-by-step solution

Coupling with benzene diazonium chloride at low temperature in slightly basic medium is characteristic of phenols and aromatic amines, indicating the presence of an activated aromatic ring in product Y. This reaction forms azo dyes and is a specific test for such compounds.
