“…The o-, m-, and p-aminostyrenes (404,557) as well as o-amino-S-chloro- (404,405,453,504) and o-amino-/3-bromo-styrenes ( 404) have all been prepared by reducing the corresponding nitrostyrene with stannous chloride and hydrochloric acid. m-Nitrostyrene was reduced to 3,3'-divinylazobenzene in 69 per cent yield by means of sodium stannite and the latter compound converted to 2,2'-divinylbenzidine in 25 per cent yield by means of stannous chloride and hydrochloric acid followed by concentrated hydrochloric acid (404).…”
