Organic nitrogen chemistry

Important reaction types in organic nitrogen chemistry... 

At this point, we ll switch gears somewhat and discuss aspects of organic nitrogen chemistry, focusing on reactions that illustrate nitrogen s characteristic behavior. Diazonium cations (ArNj" ) provide an excellent starting point for such a discussion. 

The importance of steric effects in determining the oxidation state of the product can be illustrated by a thioether linkage, eg (57). If a methyl group is forced to be adjacent to the sulfur bond, the planarity required for efficient electron donation by unshared electrons is prevented and oxidation is not observed (48). Similar chemistry is observed in the addition of organic nitrogen and oxygen nucleophiles as well as inorganic anions.
