Abstract

Abstract α-Phenyl-4-nitrobenzenemethanol (3) reacted with 1 M sodium hydroxide to yield 4, 4′-dibenzoyl-azoybenzene (5)(51%), 4-hydroxy-4′-benzoylazobenzene (6) and benzoic acid (12% each), and smaller amounts of 4-aminobenzophenone and 4- nitrobenzophenone. Both α-phenyl-2-nitrobenzenemethanol (9) and 3, 5-dimethyl-4- nitrobenzenemethanol (10a) did not react with 1 M sodium hydroxide, presumably due to ...
