1. In this reaction, diazonium salts couple with phenols in slightly alkaline solution. What effect does the ph of the solution have on the reactivity of the phenol?
2. In an experiment a point is made that the formation of the a zoo compound is a slow reaction, but that the rate is increased by raising the ph of the solution. Why is this necessary? In other words, how does the ph of the solution affect the reactivity of the N,N-dimethylaniline reagent.
