Auf diese Weise sind Azoxymethan zu 55% und Azoxycyclopropan zu 34% zuganglich. 

Aliphatic azoxy compounds may be prepared from nitroalkanes by electrolytic reduction to alkylhydroxylamines as described earlier followed by anodic oxidation in alkaline solution. Azoxymethane and azoxycyclopropane have been prepared by this method [80]. 

The product obtained by oxidation of cyclopropylamines depends on the structure of the amine. The 4-phenyl-l,2-dihydro-l,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione adduct 1 of 7-benzyl-7-azatricyclo-[4.3.1.0 ]deca-2,4-diene reacted with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to give the corresponding A -oxide 2 in 93 /o yield. Analogously, the sulfinyl A-oxide of tra i-2-(4-chlorophenylsul-fanyl)-Af,A,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropylamine was formed with two equivalents of 3-chloro-peroxybenzoic acid when one equivalent was used only sulfur oxidation to the corresponding sulfinyl derivative occurred. Treatment of cyclopropylamine with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of sodium tungstate, on the other hand, afforded azoxycyclopropane in 50 /o yield." ...
