Nitrous acid is unstable and must be prepared in the reaction solution by mixing sodium nitrite with acid.
Primary amines react with nitrous acid to yield a diazonium salt, which is highly unstable and degrades into a carbocation that is capable of reaction with any nucleophile in solution. Therefore, reacting primary amines with nitrous acid leads to a mixture of alcohol, alkenes, and alkyl halides.
