Diazonium salts are formed by treating primary aromatic amines (such as aniline) with nitrous acid (generated in situ from NaNO? and HCl) at low temperatures (0–5°C). A common example is benzene diazonium chloride (C? H? N? Cl? ). Diazonium salts contain the functional group –N? X? , where X? is typically a halide like Cl? or Br?
These salts are important because they are highly reactive intermediates used in various chemical processes, Check below;
Azo dye synthesis (via coupling reactions)
Replacement reactions to introduce functional groups like –OH, –CN, –X (halides)
Various organic conversions in synthetic chemistry (vita
