The solvent-controllable photoreaction of 4-methoxyazobenzenes to afford 1-aryl-1H-benzimidazoles orN-arylbenzene-1,2-diamines has been studied. The irradiation of 4-methoxyazobenzenes in DMF containing 0.5 M hydrochloric acid providedN2-aryl-4-methoxybenzene-1,2-diamines as the major product, while irradiation in acetal containing 0.16 M hydrochloric acid led to 1-aryl-6-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-benzimidazoles as the major product. A possible reaction mechanism explaining the selectivity was also discussed.

The electrochemical reduction strategy of nitrobenzenes is developed. The chemistry occurs under ambient conditions. The protocol uses inert electrodes and the solvent, DMSO, plays a dual role as a reducing agent. Its synthetic value has been demonstrated by the highly efficient synthesis of symmetric, unsymmetric and cyclic azo compounds.

Aromatic azo compounds, which play an important role in pharmaceutical and industrial applications, still face great challenges in synthesis. Herein, we report a molybdenum oxide compound, [N(C4H9)4]2[Mo6O19] (1), catalyzed selective oxidation of anilines with hydrogen peroxide as green oxidant. The oxidation of anilines can be realized in a fully selectively fashion to afford various symmetric/asymmetric azobenzene and azoxybenzene compounds, respectively, by changing additive and solvent, avoiding the use of stoichiometric metal oxidants. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest the intermediacy of highly active reactive and elusive Mo imido complexes.

In the air tonight: A novel approach to symmetric and unsymmetric aromatic azo compounds from simple anilines catalyzed by inexpensive CuBr has been disclosed. Air (or dioxygen) was used as an oxidant under mild reaction conditions, with H2O as the byproduct, to make this transformation environmentally benign and very easy to handle.
