(a) Write the reactions involved in the following :
(i) Hofmann bromamide degradation reaction
(ii) Diazotisation
(iii) Gabriel phthalimide synthesis
(b) Give reasons :
(i) is more basic than in an aqueous solution.
(ii) Aromatic diazonium salts are more stable than aliphatic diazonium salts.
(a)
(i) Hofmann bromamide degradation reaction
(ii) Diazotisation
(iii) Gabriel phthalimide synthesis
(b)
(i) is more basic than in an aqueous solution because of N-H bond in is forms hydrogen bonds in aqueous solution.
(ii) Aromatic diazonium salts are more stable than aliphatic diazonium salts because aromatic diazonium salts are resonance stabilized.
