The preparation of aryl chlorides, bromides, and cyanides by the Sandmeyer reaction is mechanistically complicated and may involve arylcopper intermediates. 

Aryl chlorides and bromides are prepared by reaction of an arenediazonium salt with the corresponding copper(I) halide, CuX, a process called the Sandmeyer reaction. Aryl iodides can be prepared by direct reaction with Nal without using a copper(T) salt. Yields generally fall between 60 and 80%. 

Arylamines are converted by diazotization with nitrous acid into arenediazonium salts, ArN2+ X-. The diazonio group can then be replaced by many other substituents in the Sandmeyer reaction to give a wide variety of substituted aromatic compounds. Aryl chlorides, bromides, iodides, and nitriles can be prepared from arenediazonium salts, as can arenes and phenols. In addition to their reactivity toward substitution reactions, diazonium salts undergo coupling with phenols and arylamines to give brightly colored azo dyes. 

Treatment of diazonium salts with cuprous chloride or bromide leads to aryl chlorides or bromides, respectively. In either case the reaction is called the Sandmeyer reaction The reaction can also be carried out with copper and HBr or HCl, in which case it is called the Gatterman reaction (not to be confused with 11-16). The Sandmeyer reaction is not useful for the preparation of fluorides or iodides, but for bromides and chlorides it is of wide scope and is probably the best way of introducing bromine or chlorine into an aromatic ring. The yields are usually high. 

Aryl Halides from Diazonium Ion Intermediates. Replacement of diazonium groups by halides is a valuable alternative to direct halogenation for the preparation of aryl halides. Aryl bromides and chlorides are usually prepared by a reaction using the appropriate Cu(I) salt, which is known as the Sandmeyer reaction. Under the classic conditions, the diazonium salt is added to a hot acidic solution of the cuprous halide.99 The Sandmeyer reaction occurs by an oxidative addition reaction of the diazonium ion with Cu(I) and halide transfer from a Cu(III) intermediate. 

Cuprous-catalyzed replacement reactions are called Sandmeyer reactions aryl chlorides, bromides, cyanides, and nitro compounds are prepared in this way formation of aryl iodides requires no catalyst, fluorides are obtained by heating diazonium fluoroborates (i.e., Schiemann reaction) benzenols are obtained by warming aqueous diazonium salt solutions. 

One of the drawbacks of the Sandmeyer reaction is the number of competing side reactions leading to the formation of biaryls, azo compounds and phenols. A recent procedure to maximise the yield of aryl halide involves treatment of the arylamine with t-butyl nitrite and anhydrous copper(n) halide (the chloride or the bromide) in acetonitrile at 65 °C.28 The method is illustrated by the preparation of p-chloronitrobenzene (Expt 6.73) the overall reaction may be represented as ... 

A second method for preparing aryl halides is the Sandmeyer reaction. During a Sandmeyer reaction, a diazonium salt reacts with copper (I) bromide, copper (I) chloride, or potassium iodide to form the respective aryl halide. The diazonium salt is prepared from aniline by reaction with nitrous acid at cold temperatures. 

Replacement of the Diazonium Group by Chloride, Bromide, and Cyanide The Sandmeyer Reaction Copper salts (cuprous salts) have a special affinity for diazonium salts. Cuprous chloride, cuprous bromide, and cuprous cyanide react with arenediazonium salts to give aryl chlorides, aryl bromides, and aryl cyanides. The use of cuprous salts to replace arenediazonium groups is called the Sandmeyer reaction. The Sandmeyer reaction (using cuprous cyanide) is also an excellent method for attaching another carbon substituent to an aromatic ring. 

For the preparation of chlorides or bromides, the diazonium salt is decomposed with a solution of cuprous chloride or bromide in the corresponding halogen acid (Sandmeyer reaction). It is possible to prepare the aryl bromide from the diazonium chloride or sulfate. A variation Involves the use of copper powder and a mineral acid for the decomposition step (Gattermann reaction). Both procedures are illustrated by the syntheses of the isomeric bromotoluenes and chlorotoluenes. The usual conditions of the Sandmeyer reaction fail in the preparation of the chloro- and bromo-phenanthrenes. However, these compounds can be successfully obtained by the interaction of the diazonium compound with mercuric and potassium halides (Schwechten procedure). Another procedure for formation of aryl bromides involves treatment of the amine hydrobromide with nitrogen trioxide in the presence of excess 40% hydro-bromic acid. The Intermediate diazonium perbromide is then decomposed by heat. ... 

A diazonium salt reacts with copper(I) chloride or copper(I) bromide to form an aryl chloride or aryl bromide, respectively. This is called the Sandmeyer reaction. It provides an alternative to direct chlorination and bromination of an aromatic ring using CI2 or Br2 and a Lewis acid catalyst.
