Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(Y=\) Diphenyl \(\quad\) Fittig reaction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The reaction sequence starts with the diazotization of aniline: \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2 + \mathrm{NaNO}_2 + 2\mathrm{HCl} \xrightarrow{0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{N}_2^{+} \mathrm{Cl}^{-} + \mathrm{NaCl} + 2\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\).…
