Reactions of Dry Arenediazonium <i>o</i>‐Benzenedisulfonimides with Triorganoindium Compounds

Abstract

Abstract The reaction between various arenediazonium o ‐benzenedisulfonimides and triorganoindium compounds is described. Depending on the reaction conditions, it is possible to obtain biaryls (16 examples, average yield of 79 %) or diaryldiazenes (18 examples, average yield of 81 %). o ‐Benzenedisulfonimide can be recovered and reused to prepare additional arenediazonium o ‐benzenedisulfonimides.
