32. Basic alumina (lot 20), purchased from ICN, and KF/alumina (batch 16727CO), purchased from Aldrich, were used without further treatment.
33. 2O and the combined filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. After purification by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with EtOAc-hexane, azobenzene (2a) was obtained in a yield of 85%. The reaction was also performed with 1a (10 mmol) and KF/alumina (5 g) following the same procedure except the reaction time. After a heating time of 45 min, 2a was obtained in a yield of 91% by passing through column of silica gel.
