Abstract

Textile industry contaminants cause significant pollution of water resources, making them a major worry in the modern age. Azo dyes, one of the most harmful synthetic colours generated in textile industry pollutants, are particularly persistent in water bodies due to their chemical composition. Herein, an efficient transfer hydrogenative cleavage of ‐N=N‐ moiety containing azoarene to its corresponding aminoarene is accomplished using a terpyridine‐based Ruthenium complex. This report depicts the suitable transformations from the azoarene by adopting a minimal base and catalyst loading. The preliminary mechanistic studies disclosed the selective conversion of azoarene to its complete ‐N=N‐ cleavage product aminoarenes through the hydrazoarene intermediate.
