  • Reaction conditions:
    • Coupling agents (e.g., phenols, anilines, naphthols) are used as reactants
    • Acidic conditions help in the formation of azo compounds
  • Examples:
    • Formation of azobenzene by coupling phenol with phenyl diazonium salt: Ar-N2+ + Ar’OH → Ar-N=N-Ar’ + H2O
    • Formation of Sudan I dye by coupling aniline with diazonium salt derived from naphthol: Ar-N2+ + Ar’NH2 → Ar-N=N-Ar’ + N2 + H2O
  1. Diazotization (continued)
  • Reaction conditions:
    • Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) are used as diazotization reagents
    • Low temperatures (around 0-5°C) are required
  • Example:
    • Diazotization of aniline to form benzenediazonium chloride: Ar-NH2 + NaNO2 + HCl → Ar-N2+ + NaCl + H2O
