Azo dyes are synthetic dyes and do not occur naturally. [2] [3] Most azo dyes contain only one azo group but there are some that contain two or three azo groups, called "diazo dyes" and "triazo dyes" respectively. Azo dyes comprise 60–70% of all dyes used in food and textile industries. [3] Azo dyes are widely used to treat textiles, leather ...
In organic chemistry, an azo coupling is an reaction between a diazonium compound (R−N≡N +) and another aromatic compound that produces an azo compound (R−N=N−R’).In this electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, the aryldiazonium cation is the electrophile, and the activated carbon (usually from an arene, which is called coupling agent), serves as a nucleophile.
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.
Like most azobenzenes, Solvent Yellow 7 can be synthesized by the reaction of the phenyldiazonium salt with phenol.The optimal pH value for this azo coupling is 8.5-10. The reaction is carried out in water, since sodium chloride (or potassium chloride) formed in the reaction is soluble in water, while the product precipitates.
Azo compounds are organic compounds bearing the functional group diazenyl (R−N=N−R′, in which R and R′ can be either aryl or alkyl groups).. IUPAC defines azo compounds as: "Derivatives of diazene (diimide), HN=NH, wherein both hydrogens are substituted by hydrocarbyl groups, e.g. PhN=NPh azobenzene or diphenyldiazene.", where Ph stands for phenyl group.

The deep colors of the dyes reflects their extended conjugation. A popular azo dye is aniline yellow, produced from aniline. [14] Naphthalen-2-ol (beta-naphthol) gives an intensely orange-red dye. Methyl orange is an example of an azo dye that is used in the laboratory as a pH indicator.. [14]
Azo violet (Magneson I; [1] p-nitrobenzeneazoresorcinol) is an azo compound with the chemical formula C 12 H 9 N 3 O 4. It is used commercially as a violet dye and experimentally as a pH indicator, appearing yellow below pH 11, and violet above pH 13. [2] It also turns deep blue in the presence of magnesium salt in a slightly alkaline, or basic ...
Alizarine Yellow R is a yellow colored azo dye made by the diazo coupling reaction. It is usually commercially available as a sodium salt. In its pure form, it is a rust-colored solid. [2] It is mainly used as a pH indicator.
