Ethylammonium and diethylammonium salts of chloranilic acid
1Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Okayama University, Okayama 700-8530, Japan.
Abstract:
In the crystals of two title salts of chloranilic acid (2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-p-benzoquinone), namely ethylammonium chloranilate, C(2)H(8)N(+).C(6)HCl(2)O(4)(-), (I), and diethylammonium chloranilate, C(4)H(12)N(+).C(6)HCl(2)O(4)(-), (II), the chloranilate ions are present as a hydrogen-bonded dimer which has an inversion center. The ethylammonium and diethylammonium ions link the dimers through N-H.O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional hydrogen-bond network in (I) and a one-dimensional chain in (II).

Each alkylation step makes the nitrogen center more nucleophilic, which triggers successive alkylations until a quaternary ammonium salt is formed. Considering...
1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
