A Simple and Efficient Method for the Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated Acyl Azo Compounds with NaNO2-Acetic Anhydride Under Mild Conditions

Abstract In this paper, eight aryl substituted α, β‐unsaturated acyl hydrazides undergo efficient oxidation to α,β‐unsaturated acyl azo compounds using NaNO 2 ‐acetic anhydride under mild conditions with excellent yields.
