Under what reaction conditions (acidic/basic), the coupling reaction of aryl diazonium chloride with aniline is carried out?
Show solutionHide solution
Ans: The azo products have an extended conjugate system with both aromatic rings linked by the –N=N- bond. These compounds are frequently colored and used as dyes. Benzene diazonium chloride reacts with phenol to form p-hydroxy azobenzene by coupling the phenol molecule in its para position with the diazonium salt. This is referred to as a coupling reaction.
