What are the results of reactions of (i) aromatic and (ii) aliphatic primary amines with nitrous acid?

Options

  1. ABoth aromatic and aliphatic primary amines undergo explosive decomposition when treated with nitrous acid.
  2. BBoth aromatic and aliphatic primary amines form diazonium salts when treated with nitrous acid.
  3. C(i) Aromatic primary amines form stable diazo amino compounds, while (ii) aliphatic primary amines form diazon
  4. D(i) Aromatic primary amines react with nitrous acid at low temperatures (273-278K) to form diazonium salts and

Correct answer

D. (i) Aromatic primary amines react with nitrous acid at low temperatures (273-278K) to form diazonium salts and

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (D) (i) Aromatic primary amines react with nitrous acid at low temperatures (273-278K) to form diazonium salts and (ii) Aliphatic primary amines react with nitrous acid to form aliphatic diazonium salts (unstable), which produce nitrogen gas and alcohols after decomposition.
