Which of the following will be most stable diazonium salt \(RN_2^+X^-\) ?
- A \(CH_3N_2^+X^-\)
- B \(C_6H_5N_2^+X^-\)
- C \(CH_3CH_2N_2^+X^-\)
- D \(C_6H_5CH_2N_2^+X^-\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(C_6H_5N_2^+X^-\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Diazonium salt containing aryl group directly linked to the nitrogen atom is most stable due to resonance stabilisation between the benzene nucleus and \(N-\)atom. Diazonium ion act as a electrophile. [Resonance structure of benzene diazonium ion]
