2,2'-Dipropionylazoxybenzenes undergo rearrangement to the corresponding 3-benzoisoxazoles in the case of base catalysis; this transformation is realized only in the case of ortho,ortho' orientation of the propionyl groups in the substrate molecule and with the participation of the solvent as a reagent.A mechanism for the rearrangement that assumed the participation of one of the propionyl groups in intramolecular reduction of the azoxy group to an azo group is proposed.
