Coupling reaction between arenediazonium cation and an aromatic compounds which bear powerful electron-releasing groups like -OH, —NH2, —NHR, or—NR2. Hence toluene, having weak electron-releasing —CH3 group cannot couple with diazonium cation.

Q. Arrange the following compounds in decreasing order of coupling with benzenediazonium chloride.

$I V > I > II > III$

$II > I > I V > III$

$II > I V > I > III$

$II > III > I V > I$

Coupling reaction between arenediazonium cation and an aromatic compounds which bear powerful electron-releasing groups like - $O H, — N H_{2}, — N H R$ , or $— N R_{2}$ . Hence toluene, having weak electron-releasing $— C H_{3}$ group cannot couple with diazonium cation.
