Azoxybenzene is organic compound with the formula C6H5N(O)NC6H5. It is a yellow, low-melting solid.[1] The molecule has a planar C2N2O core. The N-N and N-O bond lengths are nearly the same at 1.23 Å.[2]
Preparation
It can be prepared by partial reduction of nitrobenzene. This reaction is proposed to proceed via the intermediacy of phenylhydroxylamine and nitrosobenzene:[1]
- PhNHOH + PhNO → PhN(O)NPh + H2O
