Abstract

1. The complexes RhCl(PPh3)3 and RuCl2(PPh3)3 catalyze the transfer of hydrogen from 2-propanol to azoxybenzene with the formation of aniline. KOH promotes the process without changing its direction. 2. KOH also catalyzes the reduction of azoxybenzene in the absence of the Rh and Ru complexes, with the predominant formation of azobenzene and hydrazobenzene, but not of aniline.
