In this paper, a micro-fluidic optimized process for the continuous flow synthesis of azo compounds is presented. The continuous flow synthesis of Sudan II azo dye was used as a model reaction for the study. At found optimal azo coupling reaction temperature and pH an investigation of the optimum flow rates of the reactants for the diazotization and azo coupling reactions in Little Things Factory-MS microreactors was performed. A conversion of 98% was achieved in approximately 2.4 minutes and a small library of azo compounds was thus generated under these reaction conditions from couplers with aminated or hydroxylated aromatic systems. The scaled up synthesis of these compounds in PTFE tubing (i.d. 1.5 mm) was also investigated, where good reaction conversions ranging between 66-91% were attained.

Diazotization and diazocoupling reactions of aniline and its substituted derivatives with phenol and other aromatic amines over ecofriendly clay catalysts is described. This inexpensive, non-corrosive and reusable catalysts were found to exhibit bifunctional catalytic properties for these reactions. No considerable decrease in the efficiency of the catalysts were observed after five cycles of operation. The new method totally avoids the use of acids and alkalies.
