摘要

Aromatic azo compounds are widely used as organic dyes, biological medicines, food additives, radical initiators and so on. This paper describes an efficient protocol for the synthesis of aromatic azo compounds from anilines via Ag2CO3 mediated oxidative dehydrogenative coupling reactions in the presence of (CH3)(3)COK in PhCl. The yields are up to 92%, and this method is easy-operation and provides a practical process to synthesize aromatic azo compounds under mild conditions.
