Halogenation and DNA cleavage via thermally stable arenediazonium camphorsulfonate salts

A series of stable arenediazonium camphorsulfonate salts were synthesized and characterized by several techniques. The efficient application of these salts in halogenation reactions was studied in solvent and solvent-free conditions and the DNA cleavage activity was also assessed. These arenediazonium camphorsulfonate salts are noticed as efficient DNA cleaving agents.
