Mode opératoire

A 3000 ml three-necked round bottom flask was equipped with magnetic stirring, a heating mantle, a reflux condenser, and a nitrogen atmosphere. The flask was charged with 4-dodecyl-4'-hydroxyazobenzene (60.0 g, 0.164 mol), 1,10-dibromodecane, (66.95 g, 0.223 mol), potassium hydroxide (9.75 g, 0.174 mol), and ethanol (1260 ml). The stirring mixture was refluxed for seven hours. During the course of the reaction, a yellow precipitate formed in the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture then was cooled to room temperature and chilled in an ice-water bath. A crude product was isolated by suction filtration, washed with water, then with hexane. The product was recrystallized from ethyl acetate.
