What are the products formed in the reaction of cyclobutylamine with $\ce{NaNO2}$ and $\ce{HCl}$?
I thought the answer was only cyclobutanol. But the answer given says the product contains cyclopropyl carbinol as well. How does the second product form?
This is basically a diazotization reaction which results in the conversion of $\ce{- NH2}$ to $\ce{- N2^+Cl-}$ which is a good leaving group. Then water molecules will attack the carbon containing the leaving group. Is the reaction $\rm{S_N1}$ or $\rm{S_N2}$?
