An efficient catalyst-free and chemoselective synthesis of azobenzenes from nitrobenzenes

NaOH mediated reaction of nitrobenzenes in EtOH was performed at 80 degree C temperature affording azobenzenes in excellent yield. This methodology presents an easy synthesis of a wide variety of azo compounds from readily available nitrobenzene derivatives.
