Abstract
We attempted to synthesize an array of azo compounds via the diazotization of anthranilic acid and subsequent reaction with naturally occurring phenols. In most cases, there is uncertainty in azo group attachment point preference during formation of the targeted compound. NMR is a powerful technique that enables unmatched solution-state structural determination. Analyses of 1H and 13C spectra have provided a clear picture of the exact products obtained in each case.
