उत्तर
This reaction is an example of electrophilic aromatic substitution. In alkaline medium, phenol forms phenoxide ion which is more electron-rich than phenol and hence more reactive for electrophilic attack. The electrophile in this reaction is aryl diazonium cation. p-Nitrophenyldiazonium cation is a stronger electrophile than p-toluene diazonium cation. Therefore, it couples preferentially with phenol.
