13.13 Write the reactions of
(i) aromatic primary amines with nitrous acid.
Aromatic primary amines react with nitrous acid() at 273-278 K to form stable diazonium salts. aniline reacts with nitrous acid to form benzene diazonium chloride.
(i)Aromatic primary amines react with nitrous acid at low temperatures (273-278K) to form diazonium salts.
Nitrous acid is produced by the reaction of NaNO_2 and HCl
(ii) Aliphatic primary amines react with nitrous acid to form aliphatic diazonium salts (unstable), which produce nitrogen gas and alcohols after decomposition.
