Abstract

By treatment with mercury (II) oxide-iodine reagent in dichloromethane at room temperature, substituted anilines were transformed to the corresponding azobenzenes. A similar treatment of benzylamines and benzhydrylamine gave N-benzylidenebenzylamines and N- benzhydrylidenebenzhydrylamine, respectively. α-Alkyl-substituted benzylamines gave diazenes and the corresponding phenyl ketones, competitively. An azine was obtained by ...
