Reaction Steps

A solution of 25% aqueous tetramethylammonium hydroxide (8 mL) was concentrated under vacuum at 75° C. until solid material formed. Azobenzene (1.8 g) and aniline (10 mL) were added and the solution was stirred under the same conditions for 4 hours and then in the presence of air for 12 hours. Analysis of the reaction by HPLC revealed 90% yield of 4-(phenylazo)diphenylamine.
