Diazonium salts bromides

Copper 1) chloride, bromide and cyanide were used by Sandmeyer to introduce a chlorine, a bromine atom and a cyanide group respectively into a benzene ring by addition to the phenyl diazonium salt. 

The diazonium salts 145 are another source of arylpalladium com-plexes[114]. They are the most reactive source of arylpalladium species and the reaction can be carried out at room temperature. In addition, they can be used for alkene insertion in the absence of a phosphine ligand using Pd2(dba)3 as a catalyst. This reaction consists of the indirect substitution reaction of an aromatic nitro group with an alkene. The use of diazonium salts is more convenient and synthetically useful than the use of aryl halides, because many aryl halides are prepared from diazonium salts. Diazotization of the aniline derivative 146 in aqueous solution and subsequent insertion of acrylate catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 by the addition of MeOH are carried out as a one-pot reaction, affording the cinnamate 147 in good yield[115]. The A-nitroso-jV-arylacetamide 148 is prepared from acetanilides and used as another precursor of arylpalladium intermediate. It is more reactive than aryl iodides and bromides and reacts with alkenes at 40 °C without addition of a phosphine ligandfl 16]. 

Diazotization of a primary arylamine followed by treatment of the diazonium salt with copper(l) bromide or copper(l) chloride yields the corresponding aryl bromide or aryl chloride. 

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. 

MNN is obtained in 3—5% yield by the nitration of naphthalene and is present at this level in coml MNN. It is best prepd by indirect methods for example, by the removal of an amino group from an appropriately substituted nitro-naphthylamine. The amine is treated with Na nitrite and acid to form the diazonium salt which is replaced with a H atom by redn with EtOH (Ref 7). It may also be prepd by treatment of 6-nitro-l, 2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene with Br to form a dibromo compn (probably the 1,4-isomer), followed by removal of two moles of H bromide by distn in the presence of base (Ref 10). 2-Naphthalenediazonium fluoroborate... 

When aqueous solutions of aromatic and heteroaromatic diazonium salts are treated with cuprous chloride, -bromide, or -cyanide, the corresponding aromatic chlorides, bromides, or cyanides are formed, respectively. In many cases the anions mentioned must be present in excess. This reaction, the Sandmeyer reaction, was discovered by Sandmeyer in 1884. A variant carried out with copper powder and HBr or HC1 was for many years called the Gattermann reaction (Gattermann, 1890). As it is often confused with the Gattermann-Koch reaction (ArH + CO + HC1 ArCHO), and as it is mechanistically not significantly different from Sandmeyer s procedure, the name Gattermann reaction should be avoided. 

One of the best methods for the introduction of iodine into aromatic rings is the reaction of diazonium salts with iodide ions. Analogous reactions with chloride, bromide, and fluoride ions give poorer results, and 14-25 and 13-20 are preferred for the preparation of aryl chlorides, bromides, and fluorides. However, when other diazonium reactions are carried out in the presence of these ions, halides are usually side products. Aniline has also been converted to fluorobenzene by treatment with t-BuONO and Sip4 followed by heating. A related reaction between PhN=N—N C4Hg and iodine gave iodobenzene. ... 

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. 

Examples of the three mechanistic types are, respectively (a) hydrolysis of diazonium salts to phenols89 (b) reaction with azide ion to form aryl azides90 and (c) reaction with cuprous halides to form aryl chlorides or bromides.91 In the paragraphs that follow, these and other synthetically useful reactions of diazonium intermediates are considered. The reactions are organized on the basis of the group that is introduced, rather than on the mechanism involved. It will be seen that the reactions that are discussed fall into one of the three general mechanistic types. 

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. 

Phenyldiazonium Perbromide.—To a fresh ice-cold solution of one of the solid diazonium salts, prepared as described above, or to the diazo-solution from 2 g. of aniline, there is added the solution of 1-5 c.c. of bromine in 15 c.c. of potassium bromide solution (25 per cent), with ice cooling, until precipitation of dark-coloured oil ceases. The aqueous solution is then decanted when the residual perbromide is washed a few times with ice-water it crystallises. 

When a primary aromatic amine, dissolved or suspended in cold aqueous mineral acid, is treated with sodium nitrite, a dlazonlum salt is formed (Unit 13, Class XII). Mixing the solution of freshly prepared diazonium salt with cuprous chloride or cuprous bromide results in the replacement of the diazonium group by -Cl or -Br. 

Alternative chemical reactions are available for tire generation of phenyl a-radicals. These include the diazonium salt reactions mentioned earlier and also reaction of aryl bromides and iodides with tributyltinhydride or triphenyltinhydride in the presence of a radical initiator [174], Electrogeneration of the tin radical by... 

Diazopyrazoles can be converted into very stable diazonium salts (chloride or bromide) upon treatment with the corresponding concentrated acid at room temperature (76JOC3781 84JHC957). Stable diazonium tetrafluoroborate [87JOC5538], platinichloride, and aurichloride [14JCS(105)435] can be isolated. Only in the case of the unstable 3-diazo-pyrazole was it necessary to operate at low temperature and in non aqueous solvents (61CB1036). 

Amino-l,2,4-triazole was alkylated with 4-nitrobenzyl bromide by simply refluxing the mixture in isopropanol to give SO in excellent yield. The aminotriazole SO was deaminated with NaNOa in aqueous HCI and the nitro group was reduced with ammonium formate catalyzed by 10% Pd/C to deliver 47 in an improved yield over the route shown in Scheme 17. Diazotization of 47, reduction of the diazonium salt with sodium sulphite and Fischer indolization of the resulting hydrazine with 4-( /, /-dimethylamino)butanol dimethyl acetal was performed in a single step to afford rizatriptan (4) in 45% yield. 

Amino- and 7-aminothiocoumarin have been thoroughly explored as useful precursors to a wide variety of thiocoumarins. Thus, substituents such as Cl, Br, I, SCN, CN, OH, and OMe have been introduced by way of the Sandmeyer reaction. 6-Aminothiocoumarin is brominated in the 5-posi-tion, whereby 5-bromo- or 5,6-dibromothiocoumarin may be made by way of the corresponding diazonium salt, using hypophosphorous acid or cuprous bromide, respectively. Alternatively, 6-acetylaminothiocoumarin may be nitrated in the 5-position and thus 5-nitro-, 5-amino-, 5,6-diamino-, or 6-chloro-5-nitrothiocoumarins can be prepared by classical syntheses. These derivatives are useful intermediates for the synthesis of further fused thiocoumarins (e.g., 23, 24 and 25 ). 

Diazonium coupling to 1-hydroxyquinolizinium bromide 21 yields a highly insoluble red product which has been assigned structure 20. The diazonium salt from l-hydroxy-3-aminoquinolizinium bromide has been coupled with alkaline j3-naphthol.21... 

The reaction of phenacyltriphenylarsonium bromides (333) with aromatic diazonium salts in methanol containing sodium acetate provides a simple method for synthesizing 3,6-diaroyl-l,4-dihydro-l,2,4,5-tetrazines (334) in good yield (78JOM(155)293). The reaction has been postulated to proceed via the nitrilimine intermediate (335), whose formation can be explained by the sequence shown in Scheme 19. 

When the phenacylpyridinium bromides (395) were treated with diazonium salts (396) 1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazines (397) were obtained (79JPR519,79IJC(B)362).
