CAS 2396-60-3: 4-Methoxyazobenzene

Description: 4-Methoxyazobenzene, with the CAS number 2396-60-3, is an organic compound belonging to the class of azo compounds, characterized by the presence of a nitrogen-nitrogen double bond (N=N) linking two aromatic rings. Its molecular structure features a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to one of the benzene rings, specifically at the para position relative to the azo linkage. This compound is typically a yellow to orange solid at room temperature and is known for its applications in dye chemistry, particularly as a dye intermediate and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. 4-Methoxyazobenzene exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, while being less soluble in water. It is also notable for its photochemical properties, as it can undergo isomerization upon exposure to light, transitioning between its cis and trans forms. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as azo compounds can sometimes be associated with toxicity and environmental concerns.
