Which of the following will be most stable diazonium salt \(RN_2^+X^-\) ?

  1. A \(CH_3N_2^+X^-\)
  2. B \(C_6H_5N_2^+X^-\)
  3. C \(CH_3CH_2N_2^+X^-\)
  4. D \(C_6H_5CH_2N_2^+X^-\)
Verified Solution

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]
