Abstract

We have made a comparative study of the dediazoniation of p-hydroxy and p- nitrobenzenediazonium ions. The electron-withdrawing and donating properties of the-NO2 and-OH groups strongly determine the reactivity of both compounds, thus exerting different influences upon the dediazoniation reaction. We describe here how the decomposition of p- hydroxy and p-nitrobenzenediazonium ions in a neutral aqueous medium follows a ...
