Gk. Jnaneshwara et al., PALLADIUM-CATALYZED TRANSFER HYDROGENATION OF AZOBENZENES AND OXIMES USING AMMONIUM FORMATE, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (3), 1998, pp. 160-161
The reductive cleavage of azobenzenes, including the reduction of oxim
es to their corresponding amines, has been achieved with Pd-0 using am
monium formate as hydrogen source.
