PROCESS FOR PREPARING SUBSTITUTED AROMATIC AZOCOMPOUNDS AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING SUBSTITUTED AROMATIC AMINES

摘要

FIELD: organic chemistry. SUBSTANCE: claimed process comprises reacting nucleophilic compound and azocompound in the presence of suitable solvent system and suitable base at 10-150 C in restrictive reaction zone. Nucleophilic compound is selected from aniline and aniline substituted derivative. Azocompound is compound of formula: X-R1-N=N-R2-Y, wherein X and Y are hydrogen, R1 and R2 are both phenyl. The claimed process is non-halide process for preparing substituted aromatic azocompounds and substituted aromatic amines and does not use expensive removal of halogen from sewage streams. EFFECT: more efficient preparation process. 28 cl, 20 ex, 2 tbl
