Azo bond hydrogenation with hydrazine, R–NHNH2, and hydrazobenzene
摘要:
Hydrogenation of azo bonds with hydrazine, mono-substituted hydrazine, and hydrazobenzene was studied with selected diazene compounds under oxygen-free conditions. The reactions proceed rapidly and in high yield in several solvents, utilizing all N-H protons. While the reduction process is accompanied by the evolution of nitrogen gas in the case of N(2)H(4), the intermediacy of diimide could not be confirmed by standard trapping experiments.
