The process involves the diazositation of aniline with CuCl. 

C6H5-NH2 ------[ NaNO2/HCl: (0 - 5)oC ]-----> C6H5-N2+Cl- -------[ CuCl: (-N2) ]------> C6H5-Cl 

2) Second method involves 2 steps: 
A) Conversion of aniline to benzene: 
C6H5-NH2 ----[ NaNO2/HCl: (0 - 5)oC ]-----> C6H5-N2+Cl- ------[ H3PO2 ]------> C6H6 

B) Chlorination of benzene: 
C6H6 + Cl2 ----FeCl3---> C6H5-Cl + HCl
