2. The first step involves the reaction with

Cu_2Br_2/HBr. \newline

• This is a Sandmeyer reaction, where the diazonium group is replaced by a bromine atom.

\newline

• The product after this step is bromobenzene,

(C_6H_5Br). \newline

3. The second step involves the reaction with

Mg

in dry ether.

\newline

• This forms a Grignard reagent, phenylmagnesium bromide,

(C_6H_5MgBr). \newline

4. The third step involves hydrolysis with water.

\newline

• The Grignard reagent reacts with water to form benzene,

(C_6H_6). \newline

Therefore, the final product is benzene, corresponding to Option 2.
