Chemoselective electrochemical reduction of nitroarenes with gaseous ammonia

Valuable aromatic nitrogen compounds can be synthesized by reduction of nitroarenes. Herein, we report electrochemical reduction of nitroarenes by a protocol that uses inert graphite felt as electrodes and ammonia as a reductant. Depending on the cell voltage and the solvent, the protocol can be used to obtain aromatic azoxy, azo, and hydrazo compounds, as well as aniline derivatives with high chemoselectivities. The protocol can be readily scaled up to >10 g with no decrease in yield, demonstrating its potential synthetic utility. A stepwise cathodic reduction pathway was proposed to account for the generations of products in turn.

Perfluoroalkylation of azo compounds

Perfluoroalkyl azo dyes were prepared by the reaction of azo compounds with bis(perfluoroalkanoyl) peroxides.The absorption spectra and melting points of the perfluoroalkyl azo dyes were also examined.
