Quinones and aromatic ketones have been found to serve as effective catalysts for the removal of the disulfide formed during the course of alkaline sulfide reduction of azoxybenzene or azobenzene into hydrazobenzene. It seems reasonable to assume that they retarded the oxidation of hydrazobenzene by the disulfide, and furthermore, they acted as hydrogen carriers in the reducion of azobenzene to hydrazobenzene.
