Diazoniums reactions with

The 3-amino derivative (126) could not be eiasily synthesized by the customary method of reacting 1-hydrazinoisoquinoline with cyanogen bromide but reaction of (127) with ammonium acetate in a sealed tube did form (126) as did ring closure of 1-hydrazinoisoquinoline with S-methylisothiourea (71CB3947). It was possible to perform the standard diazonium reactions with (126) (70UC894). 

Primary aromatic amines differ from primary aliphatic amines in their reaction with nitrous acid. Whereas the latter yield the corresponding alcohols (RNHj — ROH) without formation of intermediate products see Section 111,123, test (i), primary aromatic amines 3neld diazonium salts. Thus aniline gives phcnyldiazonium chloride (sometimes termed benzene-diazonium chloride) CjHbNj- +C1 the exact mode of formation is not known, but a possible route is through the phenjdnitrosoammonium ion tlius ...

Bromodiphenyl. Diazotise 43 g. of p-bromoaniline (Section IV,49) in the presence of 40 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 22 -5 ml. of water (see Section IV,61) with a concentrated solution of sodium nitrite. Mix the filtered diazonium solution with 500 ml. of cold benzene, stir vigorously and add a solution of 30 g. of sodium hydroxide in 150 ml. of water dropwise (during 30-45 minutes) whilst maintaining the temperature at 5-10°. Complete the reaction as for 2-chlorodiphenyl. The 5rield of 4-bromodiphenyl, b.p. 170-175°/8 mm., m.p. 90° (from ethanol) is 25 g. 

The preparation of 5-azothiazoles uses the nucleophilic character of C-5 carbon in reaction with the appropriate diazonium salt (402, 586). These 5-azothia2oles form 1 1 complexes with Ag (587). 2-Amino-4-methyl-5-arylazothiazoles give reduction waves involving two-electron transfer the Ej/ values correlate to the angle between the thiazole and phenyl rings (588). 

The high reactivity of the 5-position in 1.3-selenazoles toward electrophilic substitution was also observed on azocoupling. By reacting molar quantities of an aqueous solution of a diazonium salt with an ethanolic solution of a 2-arylamino selenazole. for example, the corresponding 2-arylamino-5 azoselenazoles are formed in a smooth reaction (100). They deposit from the deeply colored solution and form intenselv red-colored compounds after their recrystallization from a suitable solvent (Scheme 36l. 

Reaction of 2-thiazolyl diazonium salts with formaldoxime (100) is of little use.

Reaction with Nitrous Acid. Primary, secondary, and tertiary aromatic amines react with nitrous acid to form a variety of products. Primary aromatic amines form diazonium salts. ... 

Synthesis. Almost without exception, azo dyes ate made by diazotization of a primary aromatic amine followed by coupling of the resultant diazonium salt with an electron-rich nucleophile. The diazotization reaction is carried out by treating the primary aromatic amine with nitrous acid, normally generated in situ with hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrite. The nitrous acid nitrosates the amine to generate the N-nitroso compound, which tautomerizes to the diazo hydroxide. 

Inductive and resonance stabilization of carbanions derived by proton abstraction from alkyl substituents a to the ring nitrogen in pyrazines and quinoxalines confers a degree of stability on these species comparable with that observed with enolate anions. The resultant carbanions undergo typical condensation reactions with a variety of electrophilic reagents such as aldehydes, ketones, nitriles, diazonium salts, etc., which makes them of considerable preparative importance. 

Some weak electrophilic reagents, which are usually inert toward azoles, also react with quaternized azoles. Diazonium salts yield phenylhydrazones (Scheme 48) in a reaction analogous to the Japp-Klingemann transformation of /S-keto esters into phenylhydrazones in the dithiolylium series illustrated the product has bicyclic character. Cyanine dye preparations fall under this heading (see also Section 4.02.1.6.5). Monomethine cyanines are formed by reaction with an iodo quaternary salt, e.g. Scheme 49. Tri- and penta-methinecar-bocyanines (384 n = 1 and 2, respectively) are obtained by the reaction of two molecules of a quaternary salt with one molecule of ethyl orthoformate (384 n = 1) or/S-ethoxyacrolein acetal (384 n =2), respectively. 

Bromo-3-methyl-4-nitroisothiazole can be converted into the 5-iodo analogue by reaction with sodium iodide in acetone (65AHC(4)107). Halogen exchange also takes place when 4-bromo-3-methylisothiazole-5-diazonium chloride is treated with methyl methacrylate and hydrolyzed, giving the chloro compound (150) (72AHC(14)l).

Trifluoromethyl-substituted diazonium betaines [176]. Synthetic routes to trifluoromethyl-substituted diazo alkanes, such as 2,2,2-trifluorodiazoethane [ 177, 7 78, 179] and alkyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-diazopropionates [24], have been developed Rhodium-catalyzed decomposition of 3,3,3-tnfluoro-2-diazopropionates offers a simple preparative route to highly reactive carbene complexes, which have an enormous synthetic potential [24] [3-1-2] Cycloaddition reactions were observed on reaction with nitnles to give 5-alkoxy-4-tnfluoromethyloxazoles [750] (equation 41)... 

Aniline 77 was converted into its diazonium salt with nitrous acid and this was followed by reduction with stannous chloride to afford the corresponding arylhydrazine 78. Condensation of 78 with 3-cyanopropanal dimethylacetal 79 gave the arylhydrazone 80. Treatment of 80 with PPE resulted in cyclization to indole 81. The nitrile group was then reduced to the primary amine by catalytic hydrogenation. Reaction of the amine with excess formalin and sodium borohydride resulted in Imitrex (82).
