Description

https://joechem.io/videos/159 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link). In this video, we'll take a look at how to create phenols through a process called diazotization. While attacking a haloarene with hydroxide produces phenols, high temperatures and pressures are needed for that reaction to work. Diazotization creates arenediazonium ions which water can attack at much milder temperatures and pressures. We'll take a look at the diazotization mechanism and how it helps us create phenols.
