Azoxybenzene

Description:
Azoxybenzene is an organic compound characterized by its distinctive azoxy functional group, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by an azo (-N=N-) linkage. Its chemical formula is C12H10N2O, and it appears as a yellow crystalline solid. Azoxybenzene is known for its relatively stable structure, which is attributed to the resonance stabilization provided by the aromatic rings. It is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The compound exhibits interesting photochemical properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a dye and in organic synthesis. Azoxybenzene can undergo reduction to form aniline derivatives or oxidation to yield other nitrogen-containing compounds. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. Safety considerations should be taken into account when handling azoxybenzene, as it may pose health risks upon exposure. Overall, azoxybenzene serves as an important compound in both industrial and research contexts.
