Question

Which of the following compounds will not undergo azo coupling reaction with benzene diazonium chloride? (A) Aniline (B) Phenol (C) Anisole (D) Nitrobenzene

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Diazonium cation is a weak electrophile and hence reacts with electron rich compounds containing electron donating groups such as — OH, — NH2 and — OCH3 groups and not with compounds containing electron withdrawing groups such as — NO2, etc.
