Description
Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 化學研究所 === 104 === In this thesis, we used the reductive dimerization to synthesize azoxybenzenes from nitroso benzenes. The reaction was found to be influenced by oxidants, and steric hinder of substitutions in aromatic rings, when primary aromatic amines oxidized to nitroso benzenes. We successfully synthesized nitroso benzenes as substrates including 1a-1q by oxidants , such as Oxone®, and hydrogen peroxide. Using the nitroso benzenes as starting material, we synthesized the azoxybenzenes 2a-2s simple by heating at 100 oC in IPA, and we found that the the reaction concentration and the reaction time affected the yield of the azoxybenzenes. Without the usage of other reagents, our experimental procedure is simple, and capable of synthesizing a wide variey of azoxybenzenes.
