The reagents for each step in the synthesis of synthetic ${\text{B}}_{\text{6}}$ are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The chemical reaction in which an electrophilic group is replaced by another functional group is known as the electrophilic substitution reaction.

The formation of diazonium salt from aromatic amines takes place using sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid at low temperatures. This process is known as diazotization. The diazonium salts can be converted to aryl halides using copper halides or aryl cyanides using copper cyanides.
