An interesting platform for the construction of novel ,'-bis(2-(arylazo)-2-(aroyl)vinyl)ethane-1,2-diamines is reported in this work. These bis-arylazo compounds were assembled based on the reaction of ethylenediamine with various 2-arylhydrazono-3-oxopropanals in aqueous conditions under both conventional stirring and microwave conditions at ambient temperature. The factors affecting the optimization conditions were intensively practiced.
