Question

Name the product(s) formed during the reaction of primary aliphatic amines with nitrous acid at room temperature? (A) R N 2+ Cl - (B) ROH (C) Both (a) and (b) (D) None of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Primary aliphatic amines react with nitrous acid to form aliphatic diazonium salts which being unstable, forms alcohol and liberate nitrogen gas quantitatively .

R - N H_{2} + H N O_{2} N a N O_{2} + H Cl [R N_{2}^{+} C l^{-}]

H_{2} O RO H + N_{2} ↑ + H Cl
