Sandmeyer reaction

Aniline to halide

The Sandmeyer reaction is a chemical process that converts aromatic diazonium salts into aryl halides, cyanides, or other functional groups using copper catalysts.

It's a standard method in organic synthesis for introducing chlorine, bromine, or cyano groups onto a benzene ring: The Sandmeyer reaction allowed us to replace the amine with a chloride.
