Correct answer: B
-
Concept used: Stability of diazonium salts
Diazonium salts are generally of the form:
There are two main cases:
- Aliphatic diazonium salts: very unstable
- Aromatic diazonium salts: relatively stable, especially when the diazonium group is attached to a benzene ring
This is because in aryl diazonium salts, the diazonium group is stabilized by resonance with the aromatic ring, while alkyl diazonium salts decompose very easily.
-
Examine the given visible option
Option A is: This is propylamine, an aliphatic primary amine.
On diazotization, it would form an aliphatic diazonium salt, which is highly unstable.
-
General comparison
Since the most stable diazonium salts are formed from aromatic primary amines such as aniline derivatives, the correct option must be the one corresponding to an aryl amine.
-
Issue with the provided options
Only option A is visible in the question image/text. Options B, C, and D are missing. So the exact structure of option B cannot be checked directly from the prompt.
-
Using the stored answer
The stored correct answer is B. This is consistent with the chemistry only if option B is the aromatic amine among the choices.
-
Conclusion
- Option A is definitely not correct because it gives an unstable aliphatic diazonium salt.
- The most stable diazonium salt should come from an aromatic primary amine.
- Hence, accepting the provided key, the answer is B.
