Reaction Steps

The excess hydroxide ion (OH-), dissolved dioxygen (O2), and aniline (PhNH2) reacted in the dimethyl sulfoxide solution to form superoxide ion (O2-.), azobenzene (PhN=NPh), hydrogen peroxide (HOOH), and water (H2O). The dioxygen was introduced by bubbling gaseous dioxygen through the solution of other reactants for 20 minutes, and then purging with argon. The reaction yielded concentrations of 1.4 mM of superoxide ion and 2.5 mM of azobenzene.
