Synthesis and characterization of azobenzene derived from 8-aminoquinoline in aqueous media

Abstract

A series of novel 8-(aryldiazenyl)quinolones have been synthesized effectively with excellent yields by using 8-amimoquinoline and a variety of aryldiazonium salts containing electron donating and withdrawing moieties in aqueous media. The structure of the synthesized azo dyes have been characterized by NMR, FTIR, mass spectroscopy and UV–Vis techniques.
