Organic Chemistry Questions and Answers – Benzene Diazonium Chloride – 2

This set of Organic Chemistry Question Bank focuses on “Benzene diazonium chloride – 2”.

1. Replacement of diazo group by other groups is helpful in preparing those substituted aromatic compounds which cannot be prepared which type of reaction?
a) Direct elimination
b) Addition reaction
c) Direct substitution
d) Replacement reaction
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Replacement of diazo group by other groups is helpful in preparing those substituted aromatic compounds which cannot be prepared by direct substitution.

2. What happens when benzene diazonium chloride is treated with potassium cyanide in presence of Cu powder?
a) Benzophenone
b) Methyl isocyanide
c) Acetonitrile
d) Benzonitrile
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: By treating diazonium salts with cuprous cyanide or KCN and copper powder it forms aryl nitrile. Illustrative is the preparation of benzonitrile using the reagent cuprous cyanide: C6H5N+2 + CuCN → C6H5CN + Cu+ + N2.

3. By treating diazonium salts with cuprous cyanide or KCN and copper powder it forms which of the following compound?
a) Citric acid
b) Benzoic acid
c) Aryl nitrile
d) Oxalic acid
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: By treating diazonium salts with cuprous cyanide or KCN and copper powder it forms aryl nitrile. The cyano group usually cannot be introduced by nucleophilic substitution of haloarenes, but such compounds can be easily prepared from diazonium salts.

7. Aniline in a set of reactions yielded a product D. The structure of product D would be
The structure of product D would be C6H5CH2OH
a) C6H5CH2NH2
b) C6H5NHCH2CH3
c) C6H5NHOH
d) C6H5CH2OH
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: First of all, diazonium will be formed and then it will show Sandmeyer reaction with CuCN and then reduction of cyanide and oxidation to benzyl alcohol.
Diazonium formed & then will show Sandmeyer reaction with CuCN & reduction of cyanide

8. Azo dye is prepared by the coupling of phenol and which of the following compound?
a) Diazonium chloride
b) o-nitro aniline
c) Benzoic acid
d) Chlorobenzene
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The most widely practiced reaction of diazonium salts is azo coupling. In this process, the diazonium compound is attacked by, i.e., coupled to, electron-rich substrates. When the coupling partners are arenes such as anilines and phenols, the process is an example of electrophilic aromatic substitution.

9. Identify the product in following order when 3,4,5-Tribromoaniline undergoes diazotisation followed by attack of H3PO2?
a) 3, 4,5-Tribromobenzene
b) 1, 2, 3-Tribromobenzene
c) 2, 4, 6-Tribromobenzene
d) 3, 4, 5-Tribromo nitro benzene
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: When 3,4,5-Tribromoaniline undergoes diazotisation followed by attack of H3PO2, 1, 2, 3-Tribromobenzene is formed.
3,4,5-Tribromoaniline undergoes diazotisation by attack of H3PO2, 1, 2, 3-Tribromobenzen

10. When diazonium salt solution is treated with KI, it forms which of the following compound?
a) Bromobenzene
b) Iodobenzene
c) Phenol
d) Acid
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Iodine is not easily introduced into the benzene ring directly. However, it can be introduced by treating aryldiazonium cations with potassium iodide: C6H5N+2 + KI → C6H5I + K+ + N2.
