A2 Chemistry Reactions of phenols

Hello Everyone

Stuck on a question I cannot answer. Worth 5 marks. All help appreciated.

Outline how you could carry out reaction of 4-hydroxyphenylazobenzene in the laboratory starting from phenol and a suitable aromatic amine.

I know what an amine is and what a phenol is but I don't know how the reaction of 4-hydroxyphenylazobenzene can be carried out from these compounds.

Many Thanks
Spencer

Do you know about diazonium salts? (assuming you mean synthesis of 4-hydroxyphenylazobenzene)
