Preparation of Aryl Halides from Aryl Diazonium Salts
(review of Chapter 22)
 
Summary
- 
Aryl diazonium salts can be converted
into a aryl halides as shown above.
- 
These reactions can be useful as the methodology can be complementary to
other
methods.
- 
Of particular note are the methods for introducing -F using HBF4
(the Schiemann reaction).
- 
The reactions of copper salts (CuCl, CuBr) are known as the
Sandmeyer
reactions.
- 
Aryl diazonium salts are prepared by reaction of aryl
amines with nitrous acid, HNO2
