A visible-light-promoted transfer hydrogenation of azobenzenes has been developed. In the presence of B2pin2 and upon visible-light irradiation, the reactions proceeded smoothly in methanol at ambient temperature. The azobenzenes with diverse functional groups have been reduced to the corresponding hydrazobenzenes with a yield of up to 96%. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that the hydrogen atom comes from the solvent and the transformation is achieved through a radical pathway.

The reduction of nitroarenes to anilines as well as azobenzenes to hydrazobenzenes using a single base-metal catalyst is reported. The hydrogenation reactions are performed with an air-and moisture-stable manganese catalyst and proceed under relatively mild reaction conditions. The transformation tolerates a broad range of functional groups, affording aniline derivatives and hydrazobenzenes in high yields. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds via a bifunctional activation involving metal-ligand cooperative catalysis.

The high atom-economical and eco-benign nature of hydrogenation reactions make them much more superior to conventional reduction and transfer hydrogenation. Herein, a convenient and highly selective hydrogenation reaction of azoarenes using molecular hydrogen to access diverse hydrazoarenes is reported. The present catalytic method is general and operationally simple, and it operates under exceedingly mild conditions (room temperature and 1 atm of hydrogen pressure). The reusability of catalysts used in this method is also successfully demonstrated.

Azo compounds (RN = NR′) are an important class of organic molecules that find wide application in organic synthesis. Herein, we report an efficient, practical and metal-free oxidation of hydrazines (RNH-NHR’) to azo compounds using 5 mol% HBr and hydrogen peroxide as terminal oxidant. This new method has been demonstrated by 40 examples with excellent yields. In addition, we showcased two examples of the one-pot sequential reactions involving our hydrazine oxidation/hydrolysis/Heck reaction or Cu-catalyzed N-arylation with aryl boronic acid. The distinct advantages of this protocol include metal-free catalysis, waste prevention, and easy operation.

A strategy for the electrochemical dehydrogenation of hydrazine compounds is disclosed under ambient conditions. This protocol proceeded smoothly in ethanol by employing electrons as clean oxidants. Its synthetic value is well demonstrated by the highly efficient synthesis of symmetric and unsymmetric azo compounds. It is an environmentally friendly transformation and the present protocol was effective on a large scale.

Azo compounds are widely used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Here, we report the use of a non-metal photo-redox catalyst, Eosin Y, to synthesize azo compounds from hydrazine derivatives. The use of visible-light with air as the oxidant makes this process sustainable and practical. Moreover, the visible-light-driven, photo-redox-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of azobenzenes is compatible with a series of hydrogen donors such as phenyl hydrazine and cyclic amines. Compared with traditional (thermal/transition-metal) methods, our process avoids the issue of over-reduction to aniline, which extends the applicability of photo-redox catalysis and confirms it as a useful tool for synthetic organic chemistry.

A novel strategy for the dehydrogenation of the NH?NH bond is disclosed using potassium tert-butoxide (tBuOK) in liquid ammonia (NH3) under air at room temperature. Its synthetic value is well demonstrated by the highly efficient synthesis of aromatic azo compounds (up to 100 % yield, 3 min), heterocyclic azo compounds, and dehydrazination of phenylhydrazine. The broad application of this strategy and its benefit to chemical biology is proved by a novel, convenient, one-pot synthesis of aliphatic diazirines, which are important photoreactive agents for photoaffinity labeling.

, p. 607 - 613 (2007/10/02)
Tributyltin hydride when reacted with a series of substituted azoarenes afforded hydrazo compounds with high chemoselectivity and good to high yields.With ortho-substituted azoarenes, mixtures of hydrazo derivatives and N-heterocycles or cyclic products only were obtained.The kinetic law of the process was determined in the presence and in the absence of AIBN; with the radical initiator the reaction proceeds via a radical chain mechanism, whereas without AIBN the presence of stannyl free radicals could be discarded.The mechanism of the noninitiated reaction is discussed.EPR characterization of spin adducts obtained by reacting group IVB organometallic radicals with azo compounds is reported.

Irradiation of a TiO2 powder suspension in a methanolic solution of an azobenzene results in the formation of 1,2,4-triphenyl-1,2,4-triazolidines and a 2-phenylindazole in moderate yields.
