In this reaction, benzamine's amine is converted into a diazonium ion after an O=N+ radical adds a nitrogen and removes the hydrogens from the original nitrogen, releasing water in the process and creating a cation. Then, another benzene molecule with an activating, para, ortho directing group such as this methyl group attacks the positively charged diazonium compound and forms a bond with the positive, outermost nitrogen. A proton is lost to reform the conjugation of the attacking benzene ring. This reaction will mainly happen at the para position because of steric hindrance.

Azo Compound Formation Via Aromatic Substitution (Matt Lieberman)
In this reaction, benzamine's amine is converted into a diazonium ion after an O=N+ radical adds a nitrogen and removes the hydrogens from the original nitrogen, releasing water in the process and creating a cation. Then, another benzene molecule with an activating, para, ortho directing group such as this methyl group attacks the positively charged diazonium compound and forms a bond with the positive, outermost nitrogen. A proton is lost to reform the conjugation of the attacking benzene ring. This reaction will mainly happen at the para position because of steric hindrance.
