I have been looking for the English equivalent of this molecule for hours, and can't come up with anything. I'm thinking that it's an azo compound, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any ideas???

I'm glad you caught it Laura.
Laura Miller (asker) May 12, 2006:
Hi Karen, yes, but I caught it and added it in the translation. Thanks!
Karen Tkaczyk May 11, 2006:
There is a '3-methyl' missing in this answer, isn't there?
Laura Miller (asker) May 11, 2006:
yes, that's what happens when you work until 4:00 am. The parenthesis is in front of the methyl
David Sirett May 11, 2006:
Seems to be an opening parenthesis missing.

hydroxy-2[methyl-3-pyridinylamino-2-sulfonyl)-4-phenylazo]-5-benzoic acid

Had you anything specific on your mind ? In my opinion, this translates simply as this.
Note from asker:
I thought about that, but when I try to verify it by finding it in other documents, I come up with nothing. But it would makse sense.
