    Give the decreasing order of reactivity of diazonium ion coupling with phenol.
    (I) \[p-N{{O}_{2}}-{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{4}}{{\overset{\oplus }{\mathop{N}}\,}_{2}}\]
    (II) \[p-Cl-{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{4}}{{\overset{\oplus }{\mathop{N}}\,}_{2}}\]
    (III) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}{{\overset{\oplus }{\mathop{N}}\,}_{2}}\]
    (IV) \[p-Me-{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{4}}{{\overset{\oplus }{\mathop{N}}\,}_{2}}\]

    A) I>II>III>I        

    B)        IV>III>II>I     

    C) II>I>IV>III     

    D)        III>IV>I>II

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a]The more EWG is diazonium ion, the faster the coupling is. (1) \[(I)>(II)>(III)>(IV)\] \[(I)\Rightarrow \] (\[p-N{{O}_{2}},-I\] and \[-R\]), \[(II)\Rightarrow (p-Cl,-I)\] \[(III)\Rightarrow \] Standard \[(IV)\Rightarrow \](\[p-Me,\,+I,\] and Hyper conjugation),
