Question

Direct fluorination of benzene is highly violent. What specialized named reaction utilizes a diazonium intermediate to successfully synthesize fluorobenzene?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Baltz-Schiemann reaction treats benzene diazonium chloride with cold fluoroboric acid ($HBF_4$) to precipitate the diazonium fluoroborate salt. This salt is then heated until it physically decomposes into fluorobenzene, expelling $BF_3$ and $N_2$.
