The Correct Option is D

Approach Solution - 1

To solve this question, we need to understand the formation of azo-dyes, which generally involves a diazonium salt and a coupling component. Here, sulfanilic acid undergoes a diazotization reaction followed by coupling with a nitrogen-rich compound to form an azo dye.

  1. Diazotization: Sulfanilic acid reacts with sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and acetic acid (CH3COOH) to form the diazonium ion (X).
  2. Coupling Reaction: The diazonium ion then reacts with another aromatic compound to form the azo-dye (Y).

The correct option involves the reaction forming an azo group (-N=N-) linked between two aromatic rings. This is typically represented by \(Ar-N=N-Ar'\), where Ar and Ar' are aromatic groups.

Given the options, the correct azo-dye formed is represented in the following image:

  1. Conclusion: The reaction of sulfanilic acid with NaNO2 and CH3COOH, followed by coupling, forms the azo dye shown in the correct answer image. This matches the typical azo-dye structure.

Therefore, the correct answer is the final option illustrated above.

Approach Solution -2

The reaction involves the diazotization of sulphanilic acid, which forms a diazonium salt. This diazonium salt then couples with the compound \( C_6H_5NH_2 \), leading to the formation of the azo-dye product \( Y \).

The structure of \( Y \) matches option (4) in which the diazonium ion is coupled with the benzene ring of \( C_6H_5NH_2 \), forming the characteristic azo linkage (\(-N=N-\)) between the two aromatic rings.

Thus, the correct answer is: Option (4)
