Diazonium Salts & Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #47

Have you ever wondered where cured meats like salami or pepperoni get their bright red color? Of course its from organic chemistry! A chemical called nitric acid gives them that bright color, while also increasing their shelf. It's also involved in some other interesting reactions. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry we'll see how nitrous acid reacts with primary amines to form diazonium salts, we'll learn about alkyldiazonium salts and aryldiazonium salts, and see what conditions are necessary for nucleophilic aromatic substitutions.

Whoops, we had a misspeak at 6:25. The diazonium salt is acting as an electrophile in this reaction, and it’s a fairly weak electrophile. Thanks for your support and understanding!

[@Ap_Productions04]

U guys should make videos on gram-negative stains and microbial stuff. like how endospores are basically indestructible and how they reproduce

[@andi_1485]

Ooh I'd like a course on microbiology

[@davidfoss4365]

Off topic request: I wonder if you'd consider a video on surface chemistry. I doesn't come up on the undergraduate ciriculum but it's important in many situations.

[@平和-v1z]

Very informational, thank you!

[@phalgunvedantam1388]

Deboki teaches soooo well

[@Ash-eq7ve]

oh we're wrapping things up omg
wow this has come along so far and has helped a lot!!
tysmmm! :3

[@pvtpain66k]

I'm just watching for personal edification & because I think chemistry is interesting and HOLY CRAP we're *47* episodes in‽

[@culwin]

It's the series that just keeps going!

[@williambilyeu9801]

Everytime that I hear mention of a salt in chemistry I want to listen to that great love song "NaCl."

[@henryelicker2403]

Methyl yellow you make bathtime so much fun

[@scottishbananaclan]

No idea what any of that is. But I'm interested. That's why I'm here.

[@basicle9594]

Awesome

[@DerWuwu]

Merci

[@MoltenenderMC]

I literally just went over this

[@Davlavi]

for the algorithm

[@IgorMuravyov-o5r]

Demijanov. Or Demyanov. That's how its pronounced !
Ya/ija like in yak or york.

[@aprileverett4353]

I'm first

[@theduckyshow]
