Title: Protonation of azo‐compounds. Part II: The structure of the conjugate acid of <i>trans</i>‐azobenzene
Abstract: Abstract The basic strengths of trans ‐azobenzene and its 2‐methyl and 2,2′‐dimethyl derivatives strongly favour the “classic” view that protonation of these compounds takes place with formation of an NH σ‐bond. This is further confirmed by the rates of oxidation by perbenzoic acid of these compounds and of the corresponding trans ‐stilbenes. A few remarks are made on the arguments which led to the assumption that the azo‐group acts as a “single basic center”.
