Q93 · Chemistry

The reagent 'R' in the given sequence of chemical reaction is :

2,4,6-Tribromoaniline →NaNO2, HCl, 0−5∘C\mathrm{\xrightarrow{NaNO_2,\ HCl,\ 0-5^{\circ}C}} 2,4,6-Tribromobenzenediazonium chloride (N2+Cl−\mathrm{N_2^{+}Cl^{-}}) →R\mathrm{\xrightarrow{R}} 1,3,5-Tribromobenzene

The figure, described in words

2,4,6-tribromoaniline → (NaNO2, HCl, 0-5°C) 2,4,6-tribromobenzenediazonium chloride → (R) 1,3,5-tribromobenzene, drawn as ring structures.
