Title: reaction of benzene with NaNO2 and H2SO4
Post by: Doom91 on February 15, 2009, 11:20:12 AM

why do u get nitrosyl on a benzene ring when u add NaNO2 and H2SO4
however when i apply the same conditions to aniline ,i would get a benzene ring with a diazonium ion
WHY is this so
Explain using  mechanisms and chemistry concepts
I have been thinking about this qn for a long long time and hope to get an ans soon

Why not HNO3 and H2SO4 ?
