Answer:The best way to do this that I imagine is to heat the benzene diazonium chloride with hydrogen gas in the presence of finely divided palladium catalyst. It’s important that the benzene diazonium chloride not have any moisture in it. If done this way, all the products will be a gas except the benzene which will be a liquid. The yield should be close to 100%.
