Benzenediazonium, 3-chloro-, chloride → m-Toluenediazonium chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

When these processes are repeated using variously substituted aryldiazonium salts, very variable yields of between 40 and 85% of theory are obtained. For example, p-chlorobenzenediazonium chloride gives 43%, m-chlorobenzenediazonium chloride gives 36%, m-toluenediazonium chloride gives 69%, o-chlorobenzenediazonium chloride gives 36%, p-dimethylaminobenzenediazonium chloride gives 54%, p-carbamoylbenzenediazonium chloride gives 58%, benzenediazonium chloride gives 72%, p-methoxybenzenediazonium chloride gives 80% and p-sulfobenzenediazonium chloride gives 10 to 20% of the corresponding diazosulfonate.
