Please help with this (Sandmeyer?) reaction
« on: July 04, 2010, 03:18:09 PM »
What is the product formed by this reaction?

I think it's something to do with a Sandmeyer reaction, but from what I understand, in a Sandmeyer reaction, NH2 gets replaced by a halogen. So does the Cl just get transfered onto the place of the NH2 on the other molecule?

You are on the wrong path. In fact, this reaction is a so-called "Azo-coupling" giving an azo compound. The R-NH3+ electrophile is attacked by the strong nucleophilic dibenzyl.

Where is the R-Nh3+

I meant the RN2+Cl- salt. Sorry my mistake.
