Pigment Yellow 97 is widely used as a yellow colorant, and is classified as an arylide yellow. It is distinguished by the presence of a sulfonylaminophenyl group, which renders the material particularly insoluble (resistant to migration). It is derived from two fairly complicated precursors. The acetoacetanilide component is made from 2,5-dimethoxy-4-chloroaniline. The azo component is made from a dimethoxyaniline with the sulfonylaminophenyl substituent. The compound is obtained via acetoacetylation of o-tolidine using diketene. The resulting bisacetoacetylated compound is coupled with two equiv of the diazonium salt obtained from 2,4-dichloroaniline. [1] Although it is often depicted as an azo compound, X-ray crystallography shows that the molecule exists as a hydrazone. [2]
