Reaction Steps

Concentrated sulfuric acid (50 mL, 96%) was slowly dropped into a solution of aniline (30 g. 0.32 mol) ill ethanol (280 mL) until the white precipitate newly formed disappeared again at 0-5° C. To this mixture, isoamylnitrite (40 g, 0.34 mol) was slowly added with stirring. An equal volume of ethyl ether was added to precipitate the product. The mixture was filtered and the residue washed with ethanol:ether (1:1, v/v) to provide a crude greenish solid of benzenediazonium sulfuric acid salt for the following reaction.
