“…A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Version 2023.2.0, last update September 2023; Groom et al, 2016) for 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol derivatives revealed that numerous azo-2-naphthol compounds with similar structures have been synthesized using various aromatic primary amines. Benosmane et al, 2013), 1-[(E)-2-(5-chloro-2 hydroxyphenyl) hydrazin-1-ylidene]naphthalen-2(1H)-one (UVIDOV; Bougueria et al, 2021), OGUXAP01, OGUXAP02 and OGUXAP03;Gilli et al, 2002), (E)-1-[2-(3-nitrophenyl)hydrazinylidene]naphthalen-2(1H)-one (FIFCEG; Benaouida et al, 2023), 1-(phenylazo)-2-naphthol (JARPEX; Olivieri et al, 2002), (Z)-1-(2-phenyldiazen-2-ium-1-yl)naphthalen-2-olate (TIFTEJ01; Benosmane et al, 2015). All these compounds belong to the azo dyes family and share a common base structure -a benzene ring and a naphthalene ring system linked with an oxygen in the ortho position relative to the azo group.…”
