Abstract

A novel continuous flow method for the methoxylation of chloronitrobenzenes was developed. The reaction went smoothly and high yields were achieved under the optimized conditions. Furthermore, up to 76% yield of azoxybenzenes were obtained from the corresponding nitrobenzenes in the presence of NaOH in continuous flow. Compared to batch conditions, the reaction time was significantly shortened, and the chemical waste was reduced obviously.
