CAS 4346-59-2
:4-Methoxybenzenediazonium chloride
Description:
4-Methoxybenzenediazonium chloride, with the CAS number 4346-59-2, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of diazonium salts. It is characterized by the presence of a diazonium group (-N₂⁺) attached to a para-methoxy-substituted benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a yellow to orange crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols. The diazonium group is highly reactive, making 4-methoxybenzenediazonium chloride useful in various synthetic applications, particularly in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, where it can act as a powerful electrophile. The methoxy group enhances the reactivity of the aromatic ring by providing electron-donating effects, which can facilitate further chemical transformations. However, due to the instability of diazonium salts, they are usually generated in situ and used immediately in reactions. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as diazonium salts can be hazardous and potentially explosive under certain conditions.
