Coupling reaction

Solution

 Coupling reaction: The reaction of joining two aromatic rings through the −N=N−bond is known as the coupling reaction. Arenediazonium salts, such as benzenediazonium salts, react with phenol or aromatic amines to form coloured azo compounds.

For example, the reaction of benzenediazonium chloride with phenol yields p-hydroxyazobenzene (orange dye).

\[{C_6 H_5 - N^+ \equiv N {Cl}^-}_{Benzenediazonium chloride} + {C_6 H_5 - OH}_{Phenol} \to^{{OH}^-} {C_6 H_5 - N^+ = N - C_6 H_5 - OH}_{p - Hydroxyazobenzene} + {Cl}^- + H_2 O\]
