The solvent is removed in vacuo, water is added and the mixture is exhaustively extracted with methylene chloride. The residue of 4.0 g (brown crystals) of 4-nitro-4'-heptyloxy-azobenzene, which remains after drying with sodium sulfate and removing the solvent by evaporation, is chromatographed on a column of 200 g of silica gel with methylene chloride. By recrystallization of the uniform fractions from acetone/hexane there is obtained the pure compound as orange crystals; m.p. 82.3°-83.2° C., liquid crystalline, conversion at 93.7° C., cl.p. 96.4° C.
