## Abstract In the title reactions it is shown that aminoazo formation does not occur by direct attack of diazonium ion at C‐atom. Initial attack is at N‐atom, but proton loss from the ω~N~‐complex formed is relatively slow. Hence, at low amine concentration this rearranges intermolecularly to the

Abstract
The N‐diazo coupling of p‐chloroaniline with p‐chlorobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate in acetonitrile at 30° shows non‐linear base catalysis by water. The results are interpreted in terms of the S~E~2 mechanism with rate‐limiting proton loss at low base concentration; it is postulated, moreover that the reaction proceeds via transition states in which varying degrees of H‐bonding from the amine and the intermediate ω‐complex to different water species influence the initial step and the base catalysis.

## Abstract The rearrangements of 4′‐methoxy‐__N__‐methyl‐ and __N__‐methyl‐4′‐nitro‐diatzoaminobenzene have been studied in 20% acetonitrile/aqueous buffers. The reactions are specifically acid catalyzed and involve pre‐equilibrium formation of amine and diazonium salt followed by rate‐limiting at
