Compounds Containing Nitrogen question

2016 · 10 Apr · Shift 1 · Q3

JEE MainChemistryCompounds Containing NitrogenMCQ+4 / −1
Fluorination of an aromatic ring is easily accomplished by treating a diazonium salt with HBF4HBF_4HBF4​. Which of the following conditions is correct about this reaction ?
  1. A
    Only heat
  2. B
    NaNO2NaNO_2NaNO2​/CuCuCu
  3. C
    Cu2OCu_2OCu2​O/H2OH_2OH2​O
  4. D

Correct answer: A

  1. The reaction described is the Balz–Schiemann reaction, used to prepare aryl fluorides from aromatic diazonium salts.

  2. In this reaction, an aryl diazonium salt is first converted into the diazonium tetrafluoroborate using HBF4HBF_4HBF4​: ArN2+X−+HBF4→ArN2+BF4−ArN_2^+X^- + HBF_4 \rightarrow ArN_2^+BF_4^-ArN2+​X−+HBF4​→ArN2+​BF4−​

  3. On heating, the diazonium tetrafluoroborate decomposes to give the aryl fluoride: ArN2+BF4−→ΔArF+BF3+N2ArN_2^+BF_4^- \xrightarrow{\Delta} ArF + BF_3 + N_2ArN2+​BF4−​Δ​ArF+BF3​+N2​

  4. Therefore, after treatment with HBF4HBF_4HBF4​, the required condition is simply heat.

  5. Now check options:

    • A: Only heat — Correct
    • B: NaNO2/CuNaNO_2/CuNaNO2​/Cu — Not used for fluorination here
    • C: Cu2O/H2OCu_2O/H_2OCu2​O/H2​O — Used in other diazonium substitutions, not fluorination
    • D: NaF/CuNaF/CuNaF/Cu — Not the Balz–Schiemann condition

Hence, the correct answer is: A\boxed{A}A​
