Azoxyarenes are among important scaffolds in organic molecules. Direct oxidative coupling of primary anilines provides a concise fashion to construct them. However, whether these scaffolds can be prepared from secondary N-alkylanilines is not well explored. Here, we present a catalytic selective oxidative coupling of secondary N-alkylaniline to afford azoxyarene with tungsten catalyst under mild conditions. In addition, azoxy can be viewed as a bioisostere of alkene and amide. Several "azoxyarene analogues" of the corresponding bioactive alkenes and amides showed comparable promising anticancer activities.

A simple and efficient bromination of aniline, aniline derivatives, and analogs have been developed. Forty three examples were given and the highest yield reached was 98%. Different substrates including substituted aniline, pyridin-amine, N-substituted aniline, N,N-disubstituted aniline, N-phenyl-amide, N-phenyl-sulfonamide, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles were all reactive and selectively generated desired bromo-products. The method can be applied to synthesize drug intermediate and quinoxaline derivatives.
