How to convert enilin to clorobezene

Answer 1

Sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid is added to Aniline at very low temperatures ( 0–4ºC) to form a benzene diazonium ion (a diazonium salt). b. This diazonium salt in presence of leftover hydrochloric acid is further treated with Copper Chloride which forms Chlorobenzene.

Answer 2

Answer:

Diazotization reaction....

C6H5NH2 +(NaNO2+2HCl)/0-5 °C→ C6H5N2Cl

Sandmeyre reaction....

C6H5N2Cl + CuCl/HCl →C6H5Cl
