A student has isolated a chiral alkyl halide (shown below) with a specific rotation of [a] =
+22.1°. The student decided to store the compound in the solvent MeOH overnight.
However, reanalysis of the alkyl halide showed a new chemical formula of C1H160 with
a specific rotation of [a] = 0°. Suggest a mechanism to justify these results.

Why are azo compounds good building blocks for organic dyes
because aromatic azo compounds have alternating C-C and C=C bonds
azo coupling removes the N-N triple bond
azo coupling generates new C=C bonds
O Azo coupling makes a longer conjugation system
