Azo compounds contain the __ group?
-N=N-
1 of 12
ECompounds with arenes either side of this group are more __ than having alkyl groups either side? This is becaus the -N=N- group is...?
Stable. Stabilised by becoming part of an extended delocalised system involving the arene groups.
2 of 12
These aromatic azo compounds are formed as a result of a __ reaction between a __ salt and a __ agent?
Coupling, diazonium, coupling
3 of 12
Diazonium salts are unstable because...? For this reason, diazonium salts are prepared in __ soltution and used...?
They tend to lose the -N+=N- group as N2. Ice-cold, immediately.
4 of 12
Diazonium salts are prepared by adding a cold solution of __ __ to a solution of __ in dilute acid kept below _? This reaction is known as ___?
Sodium Nitrite, arylamine, below 5 degrees celcius. Diazotisation.
5 of 12
The acid reacts with sodium nitrite to form unstable __ __? This then reacts with the ___?
Nitrous acid. Arylamine.
6 of 12
In a diazo coupling reaction, a diazonium salt reacts with...?
Another compound containing a benzene ring (coupling agent).
7 of 12
The diazonium ion acts as a__?
Electrophile - reacts with the benzene ring of the coupling agent.
8 of 12
When the ice cold solution of the diazonium salt is added to the solution of the coupling agent, a __ __ containg the azo compound forms immediately?
Coloured precipitate
9 of 12
When a solution of benzendiazonium salt is added to an alkaline solution of phenol, a __ compound is formed?
Yellow-orange
10 of 12
Diazonium salts also couple with...?
Arylamines.
11 of 12
Azo compounds are __ and their colour does not __?
Stable, fade.
