実験手順

All chemicals were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Co. unless otherwise noted. One eq. of 4-butyl-4′-hydroxyazobenzene (obtained from Beam Corp.) and 1.1 eq. potassium carbonate were dissolved in acetone and degassed with argon. Iodomethane (2.5 eq) in acetone was degassed and added drop-wise to the stirred mixture. The mixture was heated to 45° C. and stirred overnight. The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC); 12 h was usually sufficient for complete methylation. The hot reaction mixture was then filtered to remove the precipitated potassium iodide. The filtrate was collected and the solvent removed in vacuo. The solid residue was re-dissolved in chloroform and then insoluble salts were removed by filtration. The filtrate was washed with water, and the organic layer was separated and dried over magnesium sulfate. Removing the solvent in vacuo afforded a solid that contained the desired product (“BMAB”) containing a small amount of un-reacted starting material 4-butyl-4′-hydroxyazobenzene. Recrystallization from methanol at −68° C. afforded pure crystals of BMAB that were collected by filtration.
