An niproved directed synthesis of azoxyaralkanes from. L', h'-dihromci compounds and nitrosobenzene is descriheti. Llnlike the prior related method. yields of'azoxy compounds are not sensitive to the nature of the. V,. Y-dihalo compound: Le.. high yields were obtained from all types (primary, secondary. and tertiary) of alkyl groups in RNHr:?. Several aspects of the mechanistic features are discussed.
