Mechanisms in the reaction of arenediazonium cations with 2-nitropropanide anion
Lithium 2-nitropropan-2-ide reacts, in MeOH solvent, with benzenediazonium and p-methoxybenzenediazonium cations to give diazo-coupled products, but with p-nitrobenzenediazonium cation by competing electron transfer and diazo-coupling reactions.
