When primary amines (aliphatic) react with

H N O_{2}

, unstable diazonium salt is obtained which readily dissociate to give a carbocation,

N_{2}

and

C l^{-}

(the leaving group). The carbocation upon hydrolysis gives alcohol

C H_{3} C H_{2} N H_{2} H ONO C H_{3} C H_{2} N + \equiv N^{-} Cl

\to C H_{3} C \oplus H_{2} H_{2} O C H_{3} C H_{2} O H + H^{+}
