Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Mediated Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Hydrazines­: A Practical Chemical Oxidation To Access Azo Compounds

Abstract

A highly efficient, metal-free, chemical oxidation of hydrazines has been implemented using environmentally friendly TCCA as oxidant. This benign protocol provides straightforward access to a wide range of azo compounds in THF in excellent yield. Altogether, 35 azo compounds were obtained in this way and scale-up preparations were performed. Additionally, a plausible mechanism was also proposed. Step-economical process, mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, high reaction efficiency, and easy scale-up highlight the practicality of this methodology.

Key words

trichloroisocyanuric acid - dehydrogenation - hydrazines - azo compound - chemical oxidation
