利用硝基苯在三甲氯化矽及金屬鈉存在下之脫氧反應製取偶氮苯。
As a part of our research work on the silylation of benzene derivatives, the selective reduction of nitrobenzene with trimethylchlorosilane and metallic sodium was investigated. From this result a method for the selective reduction of nitrobenzene into azobenzene was proposed.
