When arenediazonium salts or aromatic diazonium ions, respectively, are heated, nitrogen n 2 is split off, yielding aryl cations. Diazonium salts are organic compounds with common functional group r. This synthesis is universally known as the pschorr reaction. Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than. The above observations may be explained in terme of a diradical cation structure ii perhape in equilibrium with the usual electron. In this reaction, water is the attacking nucleophile. Diazonium salts preparation, synthetic applications and uses. Alkali metal acetates are known to facilitate decomposition of aryldiazonium salts by the formation of diazoacetates and diazo anhydrides. Thermal decomposition patterns in methylammonium cationexchanged ytype faujasites. Diazonium salts diazonium salts are of particular importance in aromatic chemistry.
Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines. This property has led to their use in document reproduction. The use of aryl diazonium salts in the fabrication of biosensors. Aromatic amine form arenediazonium salts, which are stable for a short time in solution at low temperature273278k. Coupling diazonium salt with another derivate to form an azo compound. Diazonium salts are light sensitive and break down under near uv or violet light.
The resulting high performance materials show improved chemical and physical properties and find widespread applications. In a related reaction, the same diazonium salt undergoes loss of n 2 and co 2 to give benzyne. When primary aromatic amine is treated with nitrous acid in a cool solution, product is unstable compound, known as diazonium salt. The diazonium salts di refers to two, azo is indicative of nitrogen and ium implies that it is cationic in nature, or diazonium compounds, are the class of organic compounds with general formula r. A pair of diazonium cations can be coupled to give biaryls. Pschorrs original method involved the decomposition of the diazonium salt in dilute sulfuric acid in the presence of copper powder at room temperature, which resulted in ringclosure with the evolution of nitrogen to give phenanthrene9carboxylic acid in 93% yield. The advantage of aryl diazonium salts compared to other surface modifiers lies in their ease of preparation, rapid electro reduction, large choice of reactive functional groups, and strong arylsurface covalent bonding. The first utilization of the aryldiazonium salts as electrophiles in pdcatalyzed. Reactions of aromatic compounds overall chemgapedia.
Such salts are precursors in the following synthetic procedures. Diazene 2 underwent a bimolecular decomposition to yield the hydrodediazo product 3, and again, an aryl radical intermediate was hypothesized. The diazonium ion portion of an aryldiazonium ion has two contributing resonance structures. The reactions of diazonium salts with alcohols under acidic conditions. Reactions of aryl diazonium salts chemistry libretexts. Diazonium compounds are standard reagents used in synthesis of organic compounds, especially aryl derivatives. Substitution reactions aryldiazonium salts can react with many different reagents which will replace the diazo group, allowing for a simple procedure for installing a wide variety of groups on an aromatic ring. In both cases 1507 1508 thermal decomposition of diazonium salts no.
Bond initiated generation of aryl radicals from aryl diazonium salts. Diazonium salts preparation, synthetic applications and. The diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable due to the dispersal of the positive charge on the benzene ring resonance as. Nsubstituted imidazoles do not undergo azocoupling with diazonium salts. Recent applications of arene diazonium salts in organic synthesis.
Diazonium salts, especially those where r is an aryl group, are important intermediates. Diazonium salts decompose on warming into nitrogen and aryl cation which is highly reactive and could be attacked by any nucleophile in its vicinity. This conversion is illustrated by the coupling of the diazonium salt derived from anthranilic acid to give diphenic acid c 6 h 4 co 2 h 2. A diazonium salt is an organic compound that contains a nitrogennitrogen triple bond and some other generic side group that could be either alkyl an alkane derivative. Diazonium compounds are employed as a new class of coupling agents to link polymers, biomacromolecules, and other species e. A study of the decomposition of some aromatic diazonium. Aromatic amines react with nitrous acid to give diazonium salts.
Journals az books and reference advertising media kit institutional sales. In fact, phenols can, in this way, simply be produced by heating an aqueous solution of the corresponding arenediazonium salt. The formation of aryl fluorides from the decomposition of aryldiazonium. Aryl cations are extremely good electrophiles, which may easily be attacked by a nucleophile, even though it is merely a poor nucleophile. The advantage of aryl diazonium salts compared to other surface modifiers lies in their ease.
