Question

Coupling reaction is an example of:

• A. Nucleophilic addition reaction
• B. Nucleophilic substitution reaction
• C. Electrophilic substitution reaction
• D. Electrophilic addition reaction

Hint:

Coupling reactions commonly involve the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, which is a key feature of electrophilic substitution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

A coupling reaction involves the reaction of two molecules in the presence of a catalyst, typically involving the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond. In the case of coupling reactions in organic chemistry, they usually involve electrophilic substitution reactions, where two molecules react in the presence of an electrophile. Thus, the correct answer is Electrophilic substitution reaction.
