So, you write denitrogenation here - that means you probably have to get a nitrogen in place somehow. How can you do that?

Please also show your attempt at the problem.

The Sand at Meyer's beach is great this time of year..

Isn't that beach now polluted with salts leaking from the Swiss barge di Azonium?

[zsinger]

hahahaha…..giggity….What set of reactions (hint hint…..set) do you know that interchanges functional groups on a benzene ring?

O yes..the beach is for sure leaking salts of azonium.  Only if we had something that could clean up the salts....maybe the salt some malleable, highly conductive material could help here..

[PhDoc]

Alpha, are you coppering a plea here?

[sjb]

Sheese man, I didn't think this worked that way?

[AlphaScent]

Coppering a plea deal for sure.  Ill take the azonium salt for a nice, clean copper fluoride. 

To answer this question on a serious note:  Look at the Sandmeyer reaction and that will help you with this transformation.
