Interpretation:

The arenediazonium ion and the separate aromatic compound that would react to form sunset yellow FCF and the mechanism for this reaction is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

A synthesis is a specific sequence of chemical reactions that convert starting materials into the desired compound called the target. Synthesis is designed by thinking in the reverse direction from the product to the starting compound is called retrosynthesis. Retrosynthesis involves starting with the product and determining a suitable precursor from which it can be synthesized. The precursor must be a simple molecule.
