The correct order regarding the reactivity of these compounds with $Ph - N \equiv N{Cl}^{( - )}$under optimum but (+) slightly acidic medium is :

Options

A.P $>$ Q $>$ R
B.$R > P > Q$
C.$R > Q > P$
D.$P > R > Q$

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: Diazonium-coupling rate $\propto$ ring nucleophilicity; steric twisting of $- {NMe}_{2}$ lowers it.]

Rate of ESR $\propto$ nucleophilicity of benzene ring.
