In organic chemistry, an azo coupling is an reaction between a diazonium compound (R−N≡N +) and another aromatic compound that produces an azo compound (R−N=N−R’).In this electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, the aryldiazonium cation is the electrophile, and the activated carbon (usually from an arene, which is called coupling agent), serves as a nucleophile.
The Gomberg–Bachmann reaction, named for the Russian-American chemist Moses Gomberg and the American chemist Werner Emmanuel Bachmann, is an aryl-aryl coupling reaction via a diazonium salt. [1] [2] [3] The arene compound (here benzene) is reacted with a diazonium salt in the presence of a base to provide the biaryl through an intermediate ...
Diazonium compounds or diazonium salts are a group of organic compounds sharing a common functional group [R−N + ≡N]X − where R can be any organic group, such as an alkyl or an aryl, and X is an inorganic or organic anion, such as a halide. The parent compound where R is hydrogen, is diazenylium.
Azo compounds are organic compounds bearing the functional group diazenyl (R−N=N−R′, in which R and R′ can be either aryl or alkyl groups).. IUPAC defines azo compounds as: "Derivatives of diazene (diimide), HN=NH, wherein both hydrogens are substituted by hydrocarbyl groups, e.g. PhN=NPh azobenzene or diphenyldiazene.", where Ph stands for phenyl group.

Of considerable practical value in the dye industry are the diazo coupling reactions. The reaction of phenyldiazonium salts with aniline gives 1,3-diphenyltriazene. [3] The structure of the salt has been verified by X-ray crystallography. The N-N bond distance is 1.083(3) Å. [4]
The Meerwein arylation is an organic reaction involving the addition of an aryl diazonium salt (ArN 2 X) to an electron-poor alkene usually supported by a metal salt. [1] The reaction product is an alkylated arene compound. The reaction is named after Hans Meerwein, one of its inventors who first published it in 1939. Meerwein arylation
Anthranilic acid can be diazotized to give the diazonium cation [C 6 H 4 (CO 2 H)(N 2)] +. This cation can be used to generate benzyne, [20] dimerized to give diphenic acid, [21] or undergo diazonium coupling reactions such as in the synthesis of methyl red. [22] It reacts with phosgene to give isatoic anhydride, a versatile reagent. [23]
The Balz–Schiemann reaction (also called the Schiemann reaction) is a chemical reaction in which a primary aromatic amine is transformed to an aryl fluoride via a diazonium tetrafluoroborate intermediate. [1] [2] [3] This reaction is a traditional route to fluorobenzene and some related derivatives, [4] including 4-fluorobenzoic acid. [5]
