- In organohalogen compound: Diazonium ions
…diazonium ions are prepared by diazotization, a procedure in which a primary aromatic amine (ArNH2) is treated with a source of nitrous acid (HNO2). Typically this involves adding sodium nitrite (NaNO2) to an aqueous acidic solution containing the amine.

- In phenol: General synthesis of phenols
…more general reaction is the diazotization of an arylamine (a derivative of aniline, C6H5NH2) to give a diazonium salt, which hydrolyzes to a phenol. Most functional groups can survive this technique, as long as they are stable in the presence of dilute acid.
