Reductive fission of azoarenes to aminoarenes by aluminium/hydrazine hydrate

Abstract: Various azoarenes undergo reductive fission with hydrazine hydrate in refluxing ethanol to give easily isolable aminoarene(s) using aluminium powder. The reaction is fast and cost effective: yields are excellent ranging from 85-95%; substituents like -OH, -OCH 3 , -COOH, -Cl, -Br are unaffected. The method affords a simple and convenient route to the preparation of substituted aminoarenes.

“…In both cases the reaction was complete in just 20 minutes as confirmed by TLC analysis and provided the corresponding arylamines in 90% and 88%, respectively. 23,24 in methanol at 65°C takes about 1.8-2.5 hours for completion with satisfactory yields. But in our method, the reduction of nitroarenes to arylamines with iron powder (3.0 equiv) and calcium chloride (1.0 equiv) in a solvent mixture of ethanol and water goes to completion within 25-30 minutes at 60°C with good yields as shown in Table 2.…”

“…Reductive cleavage of the azo functionality is a crucial step for unmasking two different amine synthons. Hydrazine hydrate is widely used for symmetrical reductive cleavage of the azo moiety . The access of a nitrogenous compound by the unprecedented cleavage of an azo unit is fascinating for subsequent organic transformations …”

“…They show good biodegradability and low toxicity, so they are defined as environmentally friendly (11). Amides and anilides are also important in pharmaceutical, agrochemical industries, and are used as protecting groups in organic synthesis (12,13). It has been proved that some of the fatty acid amides and anilides synthesized have good activity against gram-positive bacteria (14).…”
