Solvent Yellow 7 is an aromatic organic molecule and a common azo dye with a formula of C₆H₅N₂C₆H₄OH.^[3] It has a phenolic hydroxyl and an azo group in the same molecule.^[4]

Synthesis

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.^[5]

As azo dyes are not usually water soluble, the effect of various solvents on them has been studied analytically, and likewise analytical methods and calculations for the color concentration developed.^[6]^[7]

Further reactions

The molecule can be further reacted including with bromine,^[8] and other halogens.^[9] Other reactions include nitration.^[10] The reactivity with Grignard reagents has also been studied.^[11]

Toxicology

The toxicology has been extensively studied,^[12] including IARC studies.^[13] There have been other extensive reviews.^[14]
