Aryldiazonium salts, reactions with

Aryldiazonium salts react with bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium to form arylpalladium salts and nitrogen. Therefore, diazonium salts may be employed to catalytically arylate alkenes under mild conditions. Since many aryl halides are made from diazonium salts this variation could even be more convenient than using aryl halides. The reaction proceeds in good to excellent yields in nonaqueous solvents, using sodium acetate as the base at room temperature with terminal alkenes and cyclopentene." Internal alkenes usually give poor yields, however. 

An intermediate reduction of aryldiazonium salts Ar-N =N to the diazo radicals Ar-N=N also occurs when aryldiazonium salts react with KI to yield aryl iodides (Figure 5.55). Therefore, aryl radicals Ar are obtained under these conditions, too. Their fate, however, differs from that of the aryl radicals, which are faced with nucleophiles in the presence of Cu(II) (cf. Figure 5.53) or H3P02 (cf. Figure 5.54) the iodination mechanism of Figure 5.55 is a radical chain reaction consisting of four propagation steps. 

The intramolecular coupling reaction between an aryldiazonium salt (III) with an arene subunit to form five- or six-membered ring by the influence of copper or an acid, is called the Pschorr cyclization reaction [85]. In historical examples the Pschorr cyclization was used in the synthesis of phenanthrene and its derivatives. For example, c -stilbene derivative 49 is diazotized to give 50, and subsequently treated with the activated copper to obtain phenanthrene (51) in 34% yield [86], Scheme 21. 

The reaction is very common in pyrazolone chemistry. Since alkoxypyrazoles and tautomerizable pyrazolones undergo this reaction and 3-pyrazolin-5-ones, like antipyrine, do not, it is assumed that the reaction takes place at C-4 of the OH tautomer. Pyrazolone diazo coupling is an important industrial reaction since the resulting azo derivatives are used as dyestuffs. For instance, tartrazine (Section 4.04.4.1.3) has been prepared this way. 3,5-Pyrazolidinediones react with aryldiazonium salts resulting in the introduction of a 4-arylazo group. As has been described in Section 4.04.2.1.4(v), diazonium salts couple in the 3-position with indazole to give azo compounds. 

The express method of phenolic compounds determination was designed. It is based on heterogeneous azo-coupling reaction of phenols, which different extracts of fresh raw material contain, with aryldiazonium salts grafted on the silica surface. We can carry out phenols analysis on-site, as formation of immobilized azocompounds leads to a drastic change in the sorbent s color. Thus, we pui pose a new method, that allows to indicate herb phenols in aqueous and non-aqueous medias and to compare it with a well-known Folin-Ciocalteau method.

Reaction of glycosylmethylamines with aryldiazonium salts gives a class of compounds which, by acid catalysis or unknown factors of enzymic catalysis, generate glycosylmethyldiazonium ions. These, in turn, lose nitrogen, to yield highly electrophilic carbenium ions, as illustrated for the ) -d-galactosyl derivative 38 (see Scheme 8). 

The reactions that have been described above have indicated that sulphones interact poorly with electrophiles. However, in 1970, Whiting and coworkers announced the synthesis of aryloxysulphoxonium salts , by the reaction of sulphones with the potent electrophile produced in the thermolysis of aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates or hexaflu-orophosphates. Fluorobenzenes are by-products of the reaction. In a subsequent paper , Whiting described the reactions of the aryloxysulphoxonium salts, 5, with oxygen and nitrogen nucleophiles. The fundamentals of these are outlined in equations (34) (oxygen nucleophile) and (35) (nitrogen nucleophile). 

The reaction between zwitterion 74 and aryldiazonium salt at room temperature provides the fluoroborate salt 75. Upon treatment with a base the salt 75 undergoes a valence bond isomerization to yield triazolo-pyridazine 76 (Scheme 2) <2000CC1785>. 

The synthesis of some new mesoionic triazoloquinazoles 485 has been reported by Abbott et al. <2002T3185>. These authors reported that treatment of 484 with an aryldiazonium salt followed by reaction with acetic anhydride in pyridine results in a ring closure to 485. The first step is an azo-coupling on the ring nitrogen atom, whereas the second part of the transformation is the removal of a molecule of water. 

Meerwein reaction consists of condensation of ethylenic compounds with aryldiazonium salts in the presence of cupric and cuprous salts ... 

There are reasons to explain the catalytic activity of copper(ll) in terms of cation-radical mechanism. This mechanism is confirmed by the unusual direction of Meerwein reaction in some cases, for example, when the replacement of halogen by an aryl radical occurs in the reaction of halo-styrenes with aryldiazonium salts (Obushak et al. 1991). A cation-radical in the system [olefin-Cu(II)] has been detected by UV spectroscopy (Obushak et al. 1991). In the cases of cis isomers of benzylidenacetone (Allard and Levisalles 1972) and maleic esters (Isaev et al. 1972), the unreacted... 

Analogous consideration of aryldiazonium salts and sulfur dioxide reaction with a-nitro olefins in the presence of cupric chloride gave rise to a conclusion that the process also includes the electron-transfer step and develops according to anion-radical mechanism (Bilaya et al. 2004). The reaction eventually leads to the formation of p-arylsulfonyl a-nitroethanes. 

Aryldiazonium salts, usually obtained from arylamines, undergo replacement of the diazonium group with a variety of nucleophiles to provide advantageous methods for producing aryl halides, cyanides, phenols and arenes by reductive removal of the diazo group. Coupling reaction of aryldiazonium salts with phenols or arylamines give rise to the formation of azo dyes. 

The addition of aryl radicals, generated by chemical reduction of aryldiazonium salts, onto arenes in the Gomberg-Hey reaction is well established [163]. The addition of these radicals to alkenes in the Meerwein reaction is also well known [164], Aryl o-radicals generated by electrochemical reduction of aryl halides take part in similar reactions. Good yields of the products are obtained when the intermediate phenyl radical can react in an intramolecular manner. The addition step is then fast and competes successfully with further electron transfer to form the phenyl car-banion, followed by protonation. 

Other reactions with electrophiles that have been recorded are those with aryldiazonium salts, with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, and with alkyl halides. 

Aryldiazonium salts react at once with dihydrodiazepinium salts and provide a further example of a reaction between two cations, but the coupling products are hydrolyzed very readily and the products isolated were a-arylazo derivatives of 1,3-diketones (70CC1320). 6-Arylazo-A,A -disubstituted dihydrodiazepinium salts have, however, been obtained by condensation of 2-arylazo derivatives of oxomalonaldehyde with ethylene-diamine (75HCA2283) or N,N -disubstituted ethylenediamines (71LA207) or of ethylenediamine with 2-arylazo derivatives of 2-oxo-1,3-diketones (78JIC577). 

The great reactivity of ferrocene toward electrophilic reagents prompted an early examination of its behavior with aryldiazonium salts. Azoferrocenes were expected to be formed by analogy to the reaction of phenol and related reactive aromatic compounds. The reactions instead were found to proceed with elimination of nitrogen and the products were arylferrocenes (XXIII). 

Explosive 1-arylpentazoles (551 Ar = Ph, 4-Me2NC6H4, etc.) can be prepared by reaction of aryldiazonium salts with azide anion (85AG515,98JCS(P2)2243).
