Question

Identify the product (Y) formed in the given reaction and the name of the reaction where (X) \(\rightarrow\) (Y).

• A. \( Y = \text{Ethoxybenzene}, \, \text{Wurtz-Fittig reaction} \)
• B. \( Y = \text{Diphenyl}, \, \text{Fittig reaction} \)
• C. \( Y = 1,4-\text{Diiodobenzene}, \, \text{Wurtz reaction} \)
• D. \( Y = \text{Iodobenzene}, \, \text{Sandmeyer's reaction} \)

Hint:

In a Fittig reaction, a diazonium salt undergoes a coupling reaction with another aromatic compound, typically forming a biphenyl compound. This reaction is often used in organic synthesis to form biaryl compounds.
