An azo dye which appears under the form of yellow crystalline leaflets, is soluble in alcohol, ether, strong mineral acids and oils, is insoluble in water, is derived by the action of benzenediazonium chloride on dimethyl aniline, is toxic by inhalation and by skin absorption, is carcinogenic, was formerly used in coloring butter and oils but may not be used anymore in foods or beverages, and which is used as a chemical indicator, in dyes, and in organic research. 14, record 1, English, - N%2CN%2Ddimethyl%2D4%2D%28phenyldiazenyl%29aniline

N-: This prefix must be italicized. 1, record 1, English, - N%2CN%2Ddimethyl%2D4%2D%28phenyldiazenyl%29aniline
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The prefixes "ortho-," "meta-" and "para-," along with their corresponding abbreviations ("o-," "m-" and "p-"), appear in italics and are ignored in alphabetizing. According to the actual chemical nomenclature rules in organic chemistry (in 2003), the numbers designating the positions of the disubstitution groups (1,2- for "ortho-," 1,3- for "meta-" and 1,4- for "para-") are to be preferred to the symbols "o-," "m-" and "p-." Furthermore, the prefixes "ortho-," "meta-" and "para-" should not be used anymore, and their corresponding abbreviations ("o-," "m-," and "p-") will soon be judged to be avoided, if not totally condemned. 1, record 1, English, - N%2CN%2Ddimethyl%2D4%2D%28phenyldiazenyl%29aniline

Les préfixes de position «ortho-», «méta-» et «para-», tout comme les abréviations correspondantes «o-», «m-» et «p-», s'écrivent en italique et n'interviennent pas dans une classification par ordre alphabétique. Selon les règles de nomenclature de chimie organique en vigueur aujourd'hui (en 2003), il est recommandé d'utiliser les chiffres 1,2-, 1,3- et 1,4-, respectivement. Les préfixes «ortho-», «méta-» et «para-» ne doivent plus être utilisés. L'usage des symboles correspondants («o-», «m-» et «p-») sera bientôt fortement déconseillé, sans être exclu. 1, record 1, French, - N%2CN%2Ddim%C3%A9thyl%2D4%2D%28ph%C3%A9nyldiaz%C3%A9nyl%29aniline
