Which reactions of benzenediazonium chloride give the stated main product?

  1. Awith phenol in alkaline medium: 4-hydroxyazobenzene
  2. Bwith : phenol
  3. Cwith : iodobenzene
  4. Dwith : benzonitrile

Answer: A, C, D

Coupling with phenoxide gives 4-hydroxyazobenzene, the Sandmeyer cyanation gives benzonitrile and KI gives iodobenzene (no copper needed). H3PO2 reduces the diazonium group to hydrogen, giving benzene, not phenol; phenol results from warm water.
