Mt. Dario et al., A NEW REACTION OF THE AZOXY GROUP WITH ALKYL THIOLATES - REDUCTION TOAMINO VIA A SULFENAMIDO INTERMEDIATE, Tetrahedron letters, 35(2), 1994, pp. 301-302
A novel alkyl thiolate-induced reduction of azoxybenzenes is reported
to yield anilines via in situ decomposition of the corresponding sulfe
namides formed as primary reaction products.
