N,N,N′,N′‐Tetraalkylaminoazoxybenzene Derivatives; Convenient Synthesis and Mechanistic Study

Abstract

-tetraalkyaminoazoxybenzene derivatives were conveniently prepared by the coupling of N,N-dialkylnitrosoaniline in the presence of acetone and KOH. The reaction mechanism was proposed and investigated, and the structure of compound 3b was also confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffractometry.
