Nitrobenzene

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The benzene diazonium cation acts as a weak electrophile. It undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution (azo coupling) only with electron-rich aromatic compounds that contain strong electron-donating groups like $-OH$,$-NH_2$,or $-OCH_3$. Nitrobenzene contains a strong electron-withdrawing group $(-NO_2)$,which deactivates the benzene ring towards electrophilic attack. Therefore,nitrobenzene does not undergo the azo coupling reaction.

Which of the following compounds will not undergo an azo coupling reaction with benzene diazonium chloride?
