Diazonium salts aryl, coupling

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.

When an aqueous solution of a diazonium salt is added to an alkaline solution of a phenol, coupling occurs with formation of an azo-compound (p. 188). If ho vc cr the ntiueous solution of the diazonium salt, t. . ., />-bromohenzene diazonium chloride, is mixed with an excess of an aromatic hydrocarbon, and aqueous sodium hydroxide then added to the vigorously stirred mixture, the diazotate which is formed, e.g., BrC,H N OH, dissolves in the hydrocarbon and there undergoes decomposition with the formation of nitrogen and two free radicals. The aryl free radical then reacts with the hydrocarbon to give a... 

A reaction of aryl diazonium salts that does not involve loss of nitrogen takes place when they react with phenols and arylamines Aryl diazonium ions are relatively weak elec trophiles but have sufficient reactivity to attack strongly activated aromatic rings The reaction is known as azo coupling two aryl groups are joined together by an azo (—N=N—) function...

The widespread use of aryl boronic acids or aryl boronates in various metal-catalysed C-C bond-forming reactions has created a substantial demand for these versatile nncleophiles. A general procedure for the preparation of these compounds, based on a NHC/Pd catalysed coupling, has been reported by Fiirtsner and co-workers nsing aryl chlorides and the tetraalkoxy diboron derivative 27 as conpling partners. Very good yields were obtained in several cases especially when electron poor aryls were employed [169]. Milder reaction conditions can be achieved when diazonium salts are used instead of chlorides [170] (Scheme 6.51). 

Through the use of arenediazonium salts, the straightforward transformation of amines into cross-coupling products can be realized. Whenever the diazonium salts do not tolerate bases and strong nucleophiles (e.g., phosphines), base- and phosphine-free protocols have to be used. Heterocyclic carbene ligands serve well in cross-coupling of Aryl- and vinylboronic acids, or alkylboronates with arenediazonium salts.369,370 Several convenient phosphine-free protocols have been developed for the same purpose.371-373... 

These pigments are obtained by coupling substituted aryl diazonium salts with ary-lides of 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid (2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid anilide = Naph-tol AS). They provide a broad range of colors from yellowish and medium red to bordeaux, carmine, brown, and violet their solvent fastness and migration resistance are only marginal. Naphthol AS pigments are used mainly in printing inks and paints. 

The Gomberg coupling reaction of aryl diazonium salts with arenes is catalysed by quaternary ammonium salts [49], Although yields are variable, they are generally >50% [49, 50]. When aromatic solvents other than benzene are used, the appropriate biaryls are produced, e.g. 4-chlorobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate reacts with chlorobenzene to produce the 2,4 -, 3,4 - and 4,4 -dichlorobiphenyls in a ca. 67 18 15 ratio. 

Diazonium salts are another useful source of free radicals, and the formation of the reactive species can be achieved by reductive electrolysis or direct treatment with diazonium tetrafluoroborate salts [39]. By this route, several aryl derivatives could be introduced onto the nanotube sidewalls [40]. Aryl groups bearing halogen or alkyne functionalities are particularly interesting as they can be further reacted in Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions (Suzuki, Heck) or in click chemistry reactions to create products with great potential in materials science [41].
