Question

Predict the major product in the following reaction:

The correct answer is

p-Hydroxyazobenzene

- In the reaction shown, the diazonium ion (C₆H₅N₂⁺Cl⁻) reacts with phenol (C₆H₅OH).

- This reaction is an azo coupling reaction. In this type of reaction, the diazonium ion reacts with the phenolic group (OH) in an electrophilic aromatic substitution to form p-hydroxyazobenzene as the major product.

- The p-hydroxyazobenzene forms because the hydroxyl group on the phenol is an electron-donating group, favoring the coupling at the para position.

- Therefore, the major product is (b) p-Hydroxyazobenzene.
