Azo compounds

class of organic compounds bearing the functional group R–N=N–R′, in which R and R′ can be either aryl or alkyl

Sulfasalazine, sold under the brand name Azulfidine among others, is a medication used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. It is considered by some to be a first-line treatment in rheumatoid arthritis. It is taken by mouth or can be administered rectally.

Azobenzene is a photoswitchable chemical compound composed of two phenyl rings linked by a N=N double bond. It is the simplest example of an aryl azo compound. The term "azobenzene" or simply "azo" is often used to refer to a wide class of similar compounds. These azo compounds are considered as derivatives of diazene (diimide), and are sometimes referred to as "diazenes". The diazenes absorb light strongly and are common dyes. Different classes of azo dyes exist, most notably the ones substituted with heteroaryl rings.

Azobisisobutyronitrile (abbreviated AIBN) is an organic compound with the formula . This white powder is soluble in alcohols and common organic solvents but is insoluble in water. It is often used as a foamer in plastics and rubber and as a radical initiator.

Phenazopyridine is a medication which, when excreted by the kidneys into the urine, has a local analgesic effect on the urinary tract. It is often used to help with the pain, irritation, or urgency caused by urinary tract infections, surgery, or injury to the urinary tract.

class of dyes

Diimide, also called diazene or diimine, is a compound having the formula HN=NH. It exists as two geometric isomers, E (trans) and Z (cis). The term diazene is more common for organic derivatives of diimide. Thus, azobenzene is an example of an organic diazene.

Azodicarbonamide, ADCA, ACA, ADA, or 'azo(bis)formamide', is a chemical compound with the molecular formula . It is a yellow to orange-red, odorless, crystalline powder. It is sometimes called "the yoga mat chemical" because of widespread use in foamed plastics. It was first described by John Bryden in 1959.

Balsalazide is an anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. It is sold under the brand names Giazo, Colazal in the US and Colazide in the UK. It is also sold in generic form in the US by several generic manufacturers.

Azoxybenzene is organic compound with the formula C6H5N(O)NC6H5. It is a yellow, low-melting solid. The molecule has a planar C2N2O core. The N-N and N-O bond lengths are nearly the same at 1.23 Å.

1,1′-Azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile) or ACHN is a radical initiator. The molecular formula is NCC6H10N=NC6H10CN. It is a white solid that is soluble in aromatic solvents.

chemical compound

Tetramethylazodicarboxamide (also known as TMAD and diamide) is a reagent used in biochemistry for oxidation of thiols in proteins to disulfides. It has also been used as a reagent in the Mitsunobu reaction in place of diethyl azodicarboxylate.

1,3-Diphenyltriazene is the organic compound with the formula PhN=N-N(H)Ph (Ph = C6H5). It is a prototypical triazene, i.e. a compound with the functional group RN=N-NR2. It is a pale yellow solid, prepared by the reaction of phenyldiazonium chloride with aniline. It can be prepared from aniline in a one-pot reaction via partial diazotization. It is a planar molecule. The N-N distances are 1.287 and 1.337 Å.

4,4’-Dinitro-3,3’-diazenofuroxan (DDF) is a powerful experimental high explosive, with performance comparable to that of other high-density high-explosives such as octanitrocubane and TKX-50. It is synthesised by oxidative coupling of 4-amino-3-(azidocarbonyl)furoxan followed by Curtius rearrangement and further oxidation.

'''para-Azoxyanisole (PAA) is an organic, aromatic compound. Its chemical formula is C14H14N2O3'''. In a solid state, it appears as a white powder, but when heated it forms a liquid crystal. As one of the first known and most readily prepared liquid crystals, PAA has played an important role in the development of liquid crystal displays.

Calmagite is a complexometric indicator used in analytical chemistry to identify the presence of metal ions in solution. As with other metal ion indicators calmagite will change color when it is bound to an ion. Calmagite will be wine red when it is bound to a metal ion and may be blue, red, or orange when it is not bound to a metal ion. Calmagite is often used in conjunction with EDTA, a stronger metal binding agent. This chemical is also used in the quantitation of magnesium in the clinical laboratory.

Azomethane is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3-N=N-CH3. It exhibits cis-trans isomerism. It can be produced by the reaction of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride with copper(II) chloride in sodium acetate solution. The reaction produces the azomethane complex of copper(I) chloride, which can produce free azomethane by thermal decomposition. It is the source of methyl radical in laboratory. CH3-N=N-CH3 → 2 CH3· + N2

'''1,1'-Azobis-1,2,3-triazole' is a moderately explosive but comparatively stable chemical compound which contains a long continuous chain of nitrogen atoms, with an unbroken chain of eight nitrogen atoms cyclised into two 1,2,3-triazole rings. It is stable up to 194 °C. The compound exhibits cis–trans isomerism at the central azo group: the trans isomer is more stable and is yellow, while the cis isomer is less stable and is blue. The two rings are aromatic and form a conjugated system with the azo linkage. This chromophore allows the trans compound to be isomerised to the cis'' when tre

G2ZT is a bistetrazole. It is an explosive approximately as powerful as RDX, but releases biodegradable reaction products when detonated: ammonia and hydrogen cyanide. When combined with ADN or AN oxidizers, the amount of HCN produced by a deflagration may be reduced. The compound is thus considered by its advocates to be an environmentally friendlier explosive than traditional nitroamine-based explosives.

chemical compound

3-Phenylazoacetylacetone (or phenyl-azo-acetylaceton) is a chemical compound used as an intermediate in the preparation of biologically active compounds, chelating agents, and dyes.
