A new reagent system, a combination of iodic acid and sodium nitrite has been investigated for oxidative coupling of N,N-disubstituted anilines. A facile para-selective coupling occurs to give benzidines at room temperature in water as a solvent. A tentative mechanism is proposed with some supporting experiments.
