✦ Synopsis

Oxidation of Fluoroanilines to Fluoroazobenzenes with Potassium Ferricyanide and KOH.

-Fluoroanilines such as (I) and (III) are oxidized by potassium ferricyanide and KOH to give the corresponding fluoroazobenzenes (II) and (IV) as the main products. In some cases fluorophenazines [cf. (V)] are also obtained in yields up to 10%. -(LEYVA, E.;
