Abstract

The controlled reduction of azoarenes to the corresponding hydrazoarenes using tin and hydrazine hydrate is reported. The reduction proceeds smoothly at room temperature furnishing the hydrazoarene in excellent yield without the formation of an aniline. ... Keywords: reduction, tin, hydrazine hydrate, azoarenes, hydrazoarenes ... Since nitro and azo compounds are reduced to their corresponding amines under mild conditions, the controlled reduction of these functionalities to hydrazo ...
