Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908085790

The improved method of oxidation of 4-fluoroaniline to 4- fluoroazobenzene with K₃Fe(CN)₆/KOH and 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol as catalyst is described for the first time in this paper. This report offers an efficient and rapid method to prepare azobenzene and a possible mechanism is also suggested.
