Which of the following options is the correct description of Diazotization?

Options

  1. ADiazotization is a chemical process used to convert primary amines into secondary amines by treating them with
  2. BAromatic primary amines react with nitrous acid (prepared in situ from NaNO 2 and a mineral acid such as HCl)
  3. CDiazotization is a method used to selectively oxidize secondary amines to their corresponding ketones.
  4. DDiazotization is a process in which tertiary amines are converted into quaternary ammonium salts by reacting t

Correct answer

B. Aromatic primary amines react with nitrous acid (prepared in situ from NaNO 2 and a mineral acid such as HCl)

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (B) Aromatic primary amines react with nitrous acid (prepared in situ from NaNO 2 and a mineral acid such as HCl) at low temperatures (273-278 K) to form diazonium salts. This conversion of aromatic primary amines into diazonium salts is known as diazotization.
