Benzene diazonium chloride when warmed with water gives a compound, whose Sodium salt when reacted with Allyl bromide gives compound \([\mathrm{X}]\). Identify \([\mathrm{X}]\).

  1. A \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_3\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_3\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{CH}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Benzene diazonium chloride warmed with water \(\rightarrow\) Phenol (\(C_6H_5OH\)) + \(N_2\uparrow\) + \(HCl\) Phenol + NaOH \(\rightarrow\) Sodium phenoxide (\(C_6H_5O^-Na^+\)) Williamson ether synthesis — sodium phenoxide reacts with allyl bromide (\(CH_2=CH-CH_2Br\)) via…
