We report the first example of homogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation of the N=N bond of azo compounds using a complex of an earth-abundant-metal. The hydrogenation reaction is catalyzed by a manganese pincer complex, proceeds under mild conditions, and yields amines, which makes this methodology a sustainable alternative route for the conversion of azo compounds. A plausible mechanism involving metal-ligand cooperation and hydrazine intermediacy is proposed based on mechanistic studies. (Figure presented.).
Substitution of a nitro group by diazonium salts in σH-Adducts of carbanions to mono-nitrobenzenes. Formation of substituted azobenzenes and indazoles

σH-Adducts formed at low temperature from nitrobenzene derivatives and carbanions stabilized by cyano, alkoxycarbonyl or sulfonyl groups react with benzenediazonium salts as nucleophiles, forming a new C–N bond preferentially at carbon atom bearing the nitro group. The so-formed intermediates eliminate HNO2 molecule under action of base, yielding substituted azobenzenes. Adducts of secondary carbanions, stabilized by cyano or sulfonyl groups to the ortho positions of nitrobenzenes, cyclize in situ to substituted indazoles. Some ortho σH-adducts of 1-chloroethyl phenyl sulfone carbanion add diazonium cations at meta position to the nitro group. In this case, the subsequent elimination of HCl leads to azo compounds retaining the nitro group in its original position.

A metal-free direct oxidative dehydrogenation approach for the synthesis of azobenzenes from hydrazobenzenes has been developed by using TEMPO as an organocatalyst for the first time. The reaction proceeded in open air under mild reaction conditions. A wide range of hydrazobenzenes readily undergo dehydrogenation to give the corresponding azobenzenes in excellent yields.
