What is the by-product formed along with the haloarene at the end of Sandmeyer’s reaction?(a) H2O(b) HCl(c) NO2(d) N2The question was posed to me during an interview.My doubt stems from Preparation of Haloarenes topic in chapter Haloalkanes and Haloarenes of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (d) N2

The best I can explain: When a diazonium SALT SOLUTION is treated with cuprous chloride/bromide, it gives an ARYL halide ALONG with nitrogen as. This is called Sandmeyer’s reaction.
