Question
Why is benzene diazonium chloride not stored and is used immediately after its preparation?
Advertisements
Solution
The reaction of aniline with nitrous acid at 273 - 278 K produces benzene diazonium chloride. The reaction of sodium nitrite with hydrochloric acid produces nitrous acid in the reaction mixture. Diazotisation is the process of converting primary aromatic amines into diazonium salts. Because of its instability, the diazonium salt is generally not used immediately after preparation.
The crystalline solid benzene diazonium chloride is colorless.
It is easily soluble in water and stable at room temperature but it reacts with water when warmed.
In the dry state, it decomposes easily.
