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.
*** 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.
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.
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]
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.
N-(1-Naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride is widely used in the quantitative analysis of nitrate and nitrite in water samples by colorimetry. It readily undergoes a diazonium coupling reaction in the presence of nitrite to give a strongly colored azo compound .
Other methods afford the compound less efficiently include the chlorination of 1,3-dinitrobenzene, nitration of o-nitrochlorobenzene and the dinitration of chlorobenzene. [3] 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 ...
Benzal chloride is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 CHCl 2. [1] This colourless liquid is a lachrymator and is used as a building block in organic synthesis . Preparation and usage
