Sandmeyer reactions utilize copper salts (cux), enabling the installation of a halogen or a cyano group.
Accepted Answer
That's correct! Sandmeyer reactions are a crucial tool in organic chemistry. They allow for the replacement of an aryl diazonium group (Ar-N2+) with a halogen (Cl, Br, I) or a cyano group (CN) using copper(I) salts as catalysts. This transformation is particularly useful for introducing these functional groups onto aromatic rings.
