Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(N-acetylamino)nitrosobenzene (1.64 g, 10.0 mmol) was dissolved in dimethylformamide (20 ml) and treated with monosodium cyanamide (1.0 g, 15.6 mmol). N-chlorosuccinimide (1.33 g, 10.0 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred for 24 hours at ambient temperature. The mixture was poured on ice-water (100 ml) and the precipitate filtered off to give 1.2 g 4-(N-acetylamino)phenyl ONN-azoxycyanide as a yellow powder, m.pt. 240°-242° C. (Yield: 58.8% of theoretical).
