Step-by-step solution

Diazotization reaction

The diazotization reaction occurs between an amine and NaNO₂ , HCl. The reagent gives the nitrous acid, which the amine substrate attacks to form products.

Reaction of primary, secondary amine

• The primary amine on the reaction with NaNO₂ and HCl gives a salt.
• The secondary amine on the reaction with NaNO₂ and HCl gives a nitrosoamine product.

Explanation

a. The given amine is a primary amine which gives the product as:

Product formation from a.

b. The given amine is a secondary amine which gives the product as:

Product formation from b.

c. The given amine is a secondary amine which gives the product as:

Product formation from c.

d. The given amine is a primary amine which gives the product as:

Product formation from d.
