1,3-Benzenediol, 4-[(4-ethenylphenyl)azo]-

Description:

1,3-Benzenediol, 4-[(4-ethenylphenyl)azo]- is an organic compound characterized by its azo group, which is a functional group containing a nitrogen-nitrogen double bond (–N=N–). This compound features a benzene ring substituted with hydroxyl groups (–OH) and an ethenylphenyl moiety, contributing to its potential as a dye or pigment due to the presence of the azo linkage. The hydroxyl groups enhance its solubility in polar solvents and can participate in hydrogen bonding, affecting its reactivity and interaction with other substances. The ethenyl group suggests that the compound may undergo polymerization or other reactions typical of alkenes. This compound may exhibit color properties, making it useful in various applications, including textiles and inks. Additionally, its structure indicates potential biological activity, which could be explored in fields such as pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as azo compounds can sometimes be associated with toxicity or environmental concerns.
