Resumen

Los investigadores desarrollaron una molécula controlada por la luz que se une selectivamente a estructuras específicas de ADN, como el G-cuadruplex (G4) del VIH-1 LTR-III. Este avance permite el control reversible de la unión al ADN utilizando luz visible para aplicaciones potenciales de nanodispositivos.

Aryldiazonium Salts to Azo Dyes: Diazo Coupling

The reaction of weakly electrophilic aryldiazonium (also called arenediazonium) salts with highly activated aromatic compounds leads to the formation of products with an —N=N— link, called an azo linkage. This reaction, presented in Figure 1, is known as diazo coupling and occurs without the loss of the nitrogen atoms of the aryldiazonium salt. Highly activated aromatic compounds such as phenols or arylamines favor the diazo coupling reaction. The coupling generally occurs at the...
