The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is(A): Sandmeyer reaction.

The given reaction, involving the conversion of an aryl diazonium salt (C6​H5​N2+​Cl−) into a halogenated aromatic compound using copper(I) chloride (Cu2​Cl2​) as a catalyst and hydrochloric acid (HCl) as a reagent, is indeed the Sandmeyer reaction.

So, the correct option is: Sandmeyer reaction.

Preparation of Haloalkanes

  1. Preparation by Alcohols: By using alcohol, we can very easily prepare Haloalkane as when R-OH is reacted with a suitable reagent it will form R-X. The following reagents will help in the formation of the reactions:
    1. Halogen Acids (HX)
    2. Thionyl chloride (SOCl2)
    3. Phosphorous halides (PX5 or PX3)
  2. Preparation by Free Radical Halogenation: The formation of alkyl bromides and alkyl chloride is very much possible with the help of free radical halogenation, but as these radicals are highly reactive and non-specific in nature, they can result in the formation of a mixture of products. Though, it's not a preferred method for the preparation of haloalkanes. For example, free radical chlorination can result in the formation of a number of haloalkanes, which in turn makes it difficult to set apart a single product.
  3. Preparation by Alkenes: An electrophilic addition reaction can be used to transform an alkene into a haloalkane as alkene will react with HX to form R-X.
