Diazo compounds

Diazo compounds are a class of chemical molecules containing a nitrogen group with a special structure called a diazo group, which has two nitrogen atoms double-bonded together. These compounds are typically used in organic synthesis to create new molecules or add functional groups because the diazo group can easily release nitrogen gas, making them very reactive. They are valuable in producing dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals. Due to their reactivity, diazo compounds require careful handling to ensure safety and control during reactions.
