CAS 63451-28-5: Benzoic acid, 2-[2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]diazenyl]-, hydrochloride (1:1)
Description:Benzoic acid, 2-[2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]diazenyl]-, hydrochloride (1:1), commonly referred to as a diazo compound, is characterized by its azo group (-N=N-) linking aromatic systems, which contributes to its vibrant color and potential applications in dyes and pigments. This compound features a benzoic acid moiety, indicating it possesses carboxylic acid properties, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. The presence of the dimethylamino group enhances its electron-donating ability, potentially increasing its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. As a hydrochloride salt, it is typically more soluble in water compared to its free base form, which is advantageous for various applications in biological and chemical contexts. The compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. However, safety considerations are essential, as many azo compounds can be toxic or carcinogenic. Proper handling and disposal protocols should be followed when working with this substance in laboratory settings.
