Sand Meyer Reaction is a chemical reaction that is used to prepare aryl halides from aryl diazonium salts.

Check links in the left column.

This is a very sophisticated question that would nail 99% of all Organic Chemistry teachers. Diazonium mechanisms vary with the nucleophile. When using Fluorine for example, the Sn1 occurs forming the VERY RARE aryl cation. In Sandmeyer reactions, we use Copper. The mechanism is a Non-Chain Free Radical substitution mechanism.We call this an Srn1 mechanism in Advanced Organic Chemistry. Dr Jim Romano CEO Orgoman.com and Romano Scientific New York

What are the various reagents?

The Sandmeyer reaction is a chemical reaction used to synthesize aryl halides from aryl diazonium salts. It is named after the Swiss chemist Traugott Sandmeyer. An aromatic (or heterocyclic) amine quickly reacts with a nitrite to form an aryl diazonium salt, which decomposes in the presence of copper(I) salts, such as copper(I) chloride, to form the desired aryl halide. The reaction is a radical-nucleophilic aromatic substitution.
