Question
How is aryl chloride or aryl bromide prepared by Gattermann reactions?

Answer

The aryl chloride or bromides can also be prepared by Gattermann reactions in which diazonium salt reacts with
$Cu / HCl$ or $Cu / HBr$ respectively.
$\begin{aligned}
& ArN _2^{+} Cl ^{-} \xrightarrow{ Cu / HCl } Ar - Cl + N _2 \uparrow \\
& ArN _2^{+} Cl ^{-} \xrightarrow{ Cu / HBr } Ar - Br + N _2 \uparrow+ Cl ^{-}
\end{aligned}$
