Abstract
The improved method of oxidation of 4-fluoroaniline to 4-fluoroazobenzene w ith K3Fe(CN)(6)/KOH and 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol as catalyst is described for the first time in this paper. This report offers an efficient and rapi d method to prepare azobenzene and a possible mechanism is also suggested.
