Fluorination of an aromatic ring is easily accomplished by treating a diazonium salt with . Which of the following conditions is correct about this reaction ?
- AOnly heat
- B/
- C/
- DNaF/Cu
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
-
The reaction described is the Balz–Schiemann reaction, used to prepare aryl fluorides from aromatic diazonium salts.
-
In this reaction, an aryl diazonium salt is first converted into the diazonium tetrafluoroborate using :
-
On heating, the diazonium tetrafluoroborate decomposes to give the aryl fluoride:
-
Therefore, after treatment with , the required condition is simply heat.
-
Now check options:
- A: Only heat — Correct
- B: — Not used for fluorination here
- C: — Used in other diazonium substitutions, not fluorination
- D: — Not the Balz–Schiemann condition
Hence, the correct answer is:
