Ethyl Acetate → 4-Benzamido-4'-aminoazobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the general monoacylation procedure, 4,4′-azodianiline (50 mg, 240 μmol) was treated with benzoyl choloride (26 μl, 240 μmol). Silica gel chromatography through a wide column (10% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane) provided S5 as an orange solid (44 mg, 130 μmol, 54% yield): 1H (DMSO, 400 MHz): 6.04 (s, 2H); 6.66 (d, 2H, J=8.4); 7.52-7.65 (m, 5H); 7.76 (d, 2H, J=8.8); 7.88-7.98 (m, 4H); 10.46 (s, 1H). 13C (DMSO, 100 MHz): 113.4, 120.5, 122.3, 124.9, 127.7, 128.4, 131.7, 134.8, 140.4, 142.9, 148.4, 152.5, 165.7. HRMS (ESI+): calc'd for C19H17N4O+—317.1397, found—317.1403 (MH+).
