Q= WHY SANDMEYER REACTION CARRIED OUT AT LOW TEMP??

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

In this reaction, an aromatic amine quickly reacts with a nitrite and forms an aryl diazonium salt, this further decomposes in presence of CuCl, to form an aryl halide.

The reaction is usually carried out at diluted solutions and at low temperatures to slow down the reaction kinetics as formation of diazotizations can takes place completely. As the reaction is radical nucleophillic aromatic substitution which is very fast.

Hope this information will clear your doubts about Haloalkanes and Haloarenes.
