*** Benzene is a carcinogen (cancer-causing agent). *** Very flammable. The pure material, and any solutions containing it, constitute a fire risk. Safe handling: Benzene should NOT be used at all unless no safer alternatives are available. If benzene must be used in an experiment, it should be handled at all stages in a fume cupboard.
Of considerable practical value in the dye industry are the diazo coupling reactions. The reaction of phenyldiazonium salts with aniline gives 1,3-diphenyltriazene. [3] The structure of the salt has been verified by X-ray crystallography. The N-N bond distance is 1.083(3) Å. [4]
Diazonium compounds or diazonium salts are a group of organic compounds sharing a common functional group [R−N + ≡N]X − where R can be any organic group, such as an alkyl or an aryl, and X is an inorganic or organic anion, such as a halide. The parent compound where R is hydrogen, is diazenylium.
Chlorobenzene (abbreviated PhCl) is an aryl chloride and the simplest of the chlorobenzenes, consisting of a benzene ring substituted with one chlorine atom. Its chemical formula is C 6 H 5 Cl. This colorless, flammable liquid is a common solvent and a widely used intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals.
By virtue of the two nitro substituents, the chloride in DNCB is particularly susceptible to nucleophilic substitution, at least relative to simple chlorobenzene. In this way, the compound is a precursor to many other compounds. [4] [5] [6] In one example, DNCB is as a substrate in Glutathione S-Transferase, relevant to activity assays. [7]
These compounds are diazotized followed by treatment with cuprous chloride. [1] Industrially, the diazonium method is reserved for 3-chlorotoluene. The industrial route to 2- and 4-chlorotoluene entails direct reaction of toluene with chlorine. The more valuable 4-chlorotoluene is separated from 2-chlorotoluene by distillation.
m-Phenylenediamine, also called 1,3-diaminobenzene, is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (NH 2) 2.It is an isomer of o-phenylenediamine and p-phenylenediamine.This aromatic diamine is a colourless solid that appears as needles, but turns red or purple on exposure to air due to formation of oxidation products. [3]
In organic chemistry, an azo coupling is an reaction between a diazonium compound (R−N≡N +) and another aromatic compound that produces an azo compound (R−N=N−R’).In this electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, the aryldiazonium cation is the electrophile, and the activated carbon (usually from an arene, which is called coupling agent), serves as a nucleophile.
