2-Benzoyl-1-(2,4-dichloro-phen-yl)-3-phenyl-guanidine
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(20)H(15)Cl(2)N(3)O, a typical polysubstituted guanidine with normal geometric parameters, the torsion angles [C-N-C-O = 3.8 (2), N-C-N-C = -6.1 (2)°] indicate that the guanidine and carbonyl groups are almost coplanar, due to the pseudo-hexa-gonal ring formed by intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers.

01:19Diazonium Group Substitution: –OH and –H
Nitrous acid, a weak acid, is prepared in situ via the reaction of sodium nitrite with a strong acid under cold conditions. This nitrous acid prepared in situ reacts with primary arylamines to form arenediazonium salts. Such reactions are known as diazotization reactions. As shown in Figure 1, the formation of arenediazonium salts begins with the decomposition of nitrous acid in an acidic solution to give nitrosonium ions.
01:10Hydrolysis of Chlorobenzene to Phenol: Dow Process
Simple aryl halides do not react with nucleophiles under normal conditions. However, the reaction can proceed under drastic conditions involving high temperatures and high pressure to give the substituted products. For example, chlorobenzene is converted to phenol using aqueous sodium hydroxide at 350 °C under high pressure by the Dow process. The reaction follows an elimination-addition mechanism involving a benzyne intermediate. Here, the chloride ion is eliminated to generate the benzyne...
