Sandmeyer Reaction

Each of the following three reactions of aromatic diazonium ions is called a Sandmeyer reaction.


Each reaction, overall, is a nucleophilic substitution.


None of the reactions, however, occurs in the absence of copper (I) ion, which is a reducing agent.  The mechanism of Sandmeyer reactions is not fully understood.
