Abstract

Unsymmetrical azo compounds: ##EQU1## where (R").sub.3 C-- is tertiary-aliphatic and Z is cyano or a derivative thereof, e.g., 2-t-butylazo-2-cyanopropane; processes for preparing such azo compounds by (a) adding hydrocyanic acid to a preformed hydrazone, ##EQU2## of a ketone to form a hydrazo compound, and oxidizing the hydrazo compound; or (b) oxidizing the hydrazo compound formed by the reaction of a t-aliphatic hydrazine with hydrogen or alkali metal cyanide in water.
