The number of halobenzenes from the following that can be prepared by Sandmeyer's reaction is [figure]
Answer
2
Solution
Sandmeyer reaction: C6H5N2+X- Cu2Cl2/HCl C6H5Cl ; C6H5N2+X- Cu2Br2/HBr C6H5Br
I (F): needs HBF4 then heat (Balz–Schiemann) ⇒ I is not Sandmeyer
II (Cl), III (Br): Cu(I) halide ⇒ II and III are Sandmeyer products
IV (I): KI alone, no Cu(I) salt ⇒ IV is not Sandmeyer
V (At): radioactive, not made this way ⇒ V is not Sandmeyer
