Abstract

Cathodic reduction of diazonium salts in acetonitrile led to the formation of azobenzenes, in good to moderate yields, and diarylamines as minoritary products. The reactions were carried out at the second reduction potential of the diazonium salts, involving aryl anions in the formation of the products.
