Abstract: azoxybenzenes are important intermediates in fine and industrial chemistry, and applied in dyes, indicators and liquid crystals. In this paper we described a new method for preparing azoxybenzenes, nitroarenes were reduced to the corresponding azoxybenzenes by β-CD / NaOH in water. This method is simple, economic, environmentally friendly.

Key words: Nitroarenes, Sodium hydroxide, β-cyclodextrin, azoxybenzenes
