Starting Materials: Sulfanilic acid, Sodium Carbonate (anhyrdous), B- Naphthol, Sodium 4-aminonaphthalene-1sulfonate, Sodium Nitrite, Hydrochloric acid (10%), Sodium Hydroxide (10%), Salicycic Acid
1. Why do you put sodium carbonate in sulfanilic acid. What form is the sulfanilic acid?
2. Why do you put HCl in ice?
3. Why should the diazonium salt stay cold. What would occur if it became to warm up to room temperature?
4. Why does coupling only occur between diazonium salts and activated rings?
