alleryAromatic amines react with nitrous acid at low temperature to form:
ADilution salts
BDiagonal salts
CDiazonium salts
DDialysis salts
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Diazonium salts
1. The three classes of amine react differently with nitrous acid.
2. The aromatic primary case is the synthetically useful one.
3. Aromatic amines react with nitrous acid at low temperatures to form diazonium salts.
4. Those are used for synthesising a variety of aromatic compounds.
