Methylation Of Amines Research Articles

A New Method of Nuclear Methylation of Aromatic Amines and Phenolic Substances

HYDRAZOBENZENE, when heated to high temperatures, decomposes with formation of aniline and azobenzene1, and it is likely that this reaction starts with the cleavage of an NH–NH linkage forming free radicals, which become stabilized by disproportionation involving undissociated hydrazobenzene :
