C6H5N2 +Cl-
+ C2H5OH ---> C6H6 +
N2 + HCl + (A)
Select the incorrect statement for the compound (A)
a) It gives positive iodoform test
b) It gives red ppt with Fehling's reagent
c) It undergoes disproportionation in conc alkali
d) It resolves the pink color of Schiff's reagent

Dear Student,
C6H5N=N+Cl- +C2H5OH→C6H6+HCl +CH3CHO (A)
The incorrect statement is (c) because
acetaldehyde has alpha hydrogens and undergoes aldol condensation
instead of disproportionation (cannizaro) in presence of conc
alkali
