What is the product of the reaction between benzenediazonium chloride and phenol in basic medium?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: B —
Solution
- Benzenediazonium chloride acts as an electrophile in coupling reactions.
- Phenol in basic medium exists as a phenoxide ion, which is highly activated for electrophilic substitution.
- The electrophilic attack occurs primarily at the para position to form an azo compound.
- Hence the answer is (B).
