When benzene sulphonyl chloride or benzoyl chloride is use for
acylation reaction NaOH is used to neutralized HCl that formed,
this known as Schotten Baumann techniques.
Reaction of benzene sulphonyl chloride with amine 1, 2, and 3
is used as method to differentiate between them.
1 amine give sulphonamide with acidic hydrogen which form
with NaOH a salt soluble in water, addition of HCl converted to
sulphonamide which is insoluble in water.
2 amine give a sulphonamide contains no acidic hydrogen i.e
insoluble in NaOH, addition of HCl still insoluble.
3 amine give benzene sulphonyl trialkylammonium salt which is
unstable hydrolyze in NaOH into sulphonic acid sodium salt and
3mine which is insoluble in NaOH, addition of HCl it is soluble.
This properties and the different behavior of amines in their
reaction with benzene sulphonyl chloride, known as Hinsberg test,
and its used to differentiate between amines classes.

Filtration of the silver halide, whereas the quaternary
ammonium hydroxide is soluble in water, can be obtained by
evaporation of water.
Quaternary ammonium hydroxide can be subjected to
Hofmann elimination which take place according to
Hofmann elimination rule, which is elimination from charged
molecule to obtain least substituted alkene.
Highly substituted alkene is usually obtained from
uncharged molecule as per Saytezeff rule of alcohol
dehydration to alkenes.

Hints:
Ring Substitution in aromatic amines:
NH2, NHR and NR3 are powerful activating groups and o, p
director.
NHCOCH3 acetamido gp moderate activating which result in
modulating of the ring reaction by substitution even those
impossible will be possible by acetylation of the amino gp.
N+R3 quaternary ammonium salt nitrogen with actual positive
charge its powerful deactivating gp meta director.
1) Halogenations:
Aromatic amine are highly activated, therefore substitution
occurs at all the available o & p positions.

Introduction of one bromo group is possible by reducing the
activity of amino gp to amide (Acetamido), that is by
acylation of the amino gp.
One bromo gp enter p position due to the steric effect, due
to the bulkiness of the acetamido gp, and its less activation
to the ring compared with amino gp

2) Nitration:
Nitric acid is not only nitrating agent its also oxidizing agent,
result in oxidizing the highly reactive amino benzene result
in tary material in addition to its reaction with the amino
gp, been an acid converte it to salt i.e deactivating gp.
To solve such problem we protect the amino gp by acylation,
which reduce the activity of the gp and convert it to non
basic cpd the amide.

Friedel Craft Rxn:
The impossible Friedel-Craft alkylations and acylation on
aniline, will be possible on N-acetylarylamine and it take
place normally.
Example, benzoylation of acetanilide (N-acetylaniline under
Friedel-Craft conditions gives 4-aminobenzophenone in 80%
yield after hydrolysis
An other example for modulating the reactivity of amino
substituted benzene by electrophilc substitution is in the
synthesis of sulfa drugs, example sulphanilamide which used
as antibacterial
Primary arylamines react with nitrous acid (HNO2) at
(0 5) C , to yield stable arenediazonium salts in a
process called a diazotization reaction.

Secondary amines both aryl and alkyl react with nitrous acid
to yield N-nitosoamines, which usually separate from
aqueous solution as oily yellow liquids.
Tertiary arylamines react with nitrous acid to
form p-nitroso amine or ortho if p-position is
not available, it is an electrophilc aromatic
substitution.
Arenediazonium salts are extremely useful because the diazonio
group (N2) can be replaced by a nucleophile in a substitution
reaction

Sandmeyer reaction (replacement with Cl, Br CN):

2- replacement of diazonium salt with OH
The diazonio group can also be replaced by OH to yield a
phenol in Sandmeyer variation method, this by treating
arenediazonium salt with copper (I) oxide in an aqueous
solution of copper (II) nitrate, this reaction is an important
reaction, as a very few reactions available for introducing a
OH onto aromatic ring.
Replacement by hydrogen: Deamination by
diazotization
Arenediazonium salts react with hypophosphorous acid (H3PO2) to yield
products in which the diazonium groups replaced by H.
Since we usually begin a synthesis by nitration of aromatic ring then
reduction to NH2 so replacing diazo gp by H is a replace to NO2 or NH2.
We can introduce amino group to influence the orientation of a
subsequent reaction, later we can remove the amino group i.e
deamination e.g synthesis of m-bromotoluene.
Arenediazonium ions are weak electrophiles, they react with
highly reactive aromatic compounds such as phenol and
tertiary arylamine to yield azo compounds.
This electrophilic aromatic substitution is often called a
diazo coupling reaction and the reaction usually occur at p-
position, only ortho can take place if p-position is blocked.
Azo-coupled products are widely used as dyes for textiles because their
extended conjugated electron system causes them to absorb in the
visibl e region of the electromagnetic spectrum i.e coloured compounds
e.g p-(dimethylamino)azobenzene is a bright yellow
