An improved oxidation method for the synthesis of azodicarbonyl compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708004179

Five representative hydrazo compounds have been oxidized in high yield using Br₂ and pyridine. Yields range from 80% to 93%. For the synthesis of dibenzyl azodicarboxylate, this process produced analytically pure material directly from the reaction mixture.
