The most important reaction of the diazonium salts is the condensation with phenols or aromatic amines to form the intensely coloured azo compounds. The phenol or amine is called the secondary component, and the process of coupling with a diazonium salt is the basis of manufacture of all the azo dyestuffs. The entering azo group goes into the p-position of the benzene ring if this is free, otherwise it takes up the o-position, e.g. diazotized aniline coupled with phenol gives benzeneazophenol. When only half a molecular proportion of nitrous acid is used in the diazotization of an aromatic amine a diazo-amino compound is formed. 

The nitrosamines are insoluble in water, and the lower members are liquid at ordinary temperatures. The separation of an oily liquid when an aqueous solution of an amine salt is treated with sodium nitrite is therefore strong evidence that the amine is secondary. Diphenylnitrosoamine is selected as a preparation because it is a crystalline substance and is thus easier to manipulate on a small scale than one of the lower liquid members. For this preparation, a fairly pure (and therefore almost colourless) sample of diphenyl-amine should be used. Technical diphenylamine, which is almost black in colour, should not be employed. 

Secondary nitro compound dark blue or blue green colour due to nitro-iiitroso derivatives. The coloured compound is soluble in chloroform. 

Dissolve 1 g. of the secondary amine in 3-5 ml. of dilute hydrochloric acid or of alcohol (in the latter case, add 1 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid). Cool to about 5° and add 4-5 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium nitrite solution, and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Add 10 ml. of water, transfer to a small separatory funnel and extract the oil with about 20 ml. of ether. Wash the ethereal extract successively with water, dilute sodium hydroxide solution and water. Remove the ether on a previously warmed water bath no flames should be present in the vicinity. Apply Liebermann s nitroso reaction to the residual oil or solid thus. Place 1 drop or 0 01-0 02 g. of the nitroso compovmd in a dry test-tube, add 0 05 g. of phenol and warm together for 20 seconds cool, and add 1 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid. An intense green (or greenish-blue) colouration will be developed, which changes to pale red upon pouring into 30-50 ml. of cold water the colour becomes deep blue or green upon adding excess of sodium hydroxide solution. 

DinitrophenyI derivatives. The halogen atom in 2 4-di-nitrochlorobenzene is reactive and coloured crystalline compounds (usually yellow or red) are formed with primary and with secondary amines ... 

Some reference to the use of nitrous acid merits mention here. Primary aromatic amines yield diazonium compounds, which may be coupled with phenols to yield highly-coloured azo dyes (see Section IV,100,(iii)). Secondary aromatic amines afford nitroso compounds, which give Liebermann a nitroso reaction Section IV,100,(v). Tertiary aromatic amines, of the type of dimethylaniline, yield p-nitroso derivatives see Section IV,100,(vii). ... 

Tuduranine, CjgHjgOgN. This member of the aporphine group (p. 306) is the most recent addition to Sinomenium alkaloids and was isolated by Goto from the mother liquors of sinomenine. It is crystalline, has m.p. 125° (with softening at 105°), and yields a sparingly soluble hydrochloride, m.p. 286° (dec.), [a] f — 148° (dilute MeOH), is freely soluble in alkali, and gives feeble ferric chloride and diazo-colour reactions and a fuchsin-red colour with formaldehyde and sulphuric acid. It behaves as a secondary base and yields a diacetyl derivative, m.p. 170°, [a] / — 321-71° (MeOH), which does not form a methiodide, but can be hydrolysed to A -acetyl-tuduranine, m.p. 277°, — 395-24°, and this can be methylated to... 

The substances, thus formed, are bases, and form salts with acids, which dissolve in water with a yellow colour. The solubility of the hydrochloride of the nitroso-bases in water distinguish them from the nitrosamines of the secondary bases which are insoluble. ... 

Primary identification is by means of labelling with the name and chemical formula on the shoulder of the cylinder. Secondary identification is by use of ground colours on the cylinder body and colour bands on the cylinder shoulder to denote the nature of the gas, as exemplified by Table 8.2 for selected common gases. (The full scheme is given in BS 349 1973.)... 

Phytochemicals are biologically-active, non-nutritive secondary metabolites which provide plants with colour, flavour and natural toxicity to pests. The classification of this huge range of compounds is still a matter of debate, but they fall into three main groups ... 

The discovery that, in industrialised societies, diets deficient in fruits and vegetables can effectively double the risk of developing many different types of cancer has focused renewed attention on the beneficial properties of these foods (Block e/a/., 1992 Patterson ef a/., 1990 Southon and Faulks, 2002). As we have seen, plant foods are rich in micronutrients, but they also contain an immense variety of biologically active secondary metabolites providing colour, flavour and natural toxicity to pests and sometimes humans (Johnson et ah, 1994). The chemistry and classification of such substances is still a matter for much research and debate, but this has not prevented attempts to isolate and exploit substances that have variously been termed protective factors , phytoprotectants , phytochemicals and nutraceuticals . Phytochemical compounds include ...

Secondary structure elements are coloured as in hFBP, except for grey regions, which are those most different from hFBP. From Bruns et al., 1997.

Differentiation can be defined as the process of specialisation in terms of shape and function. An example is cell differentiation in plants, animals and humans a young cell, which is initially multifunctional, gradually acquires one specific function and shape. Specialisation is a refinement that is expressed in terms of shape, scent and colour. For example, fruits ripen, leaves change colour in the autumn, the growth of a shoot ends in a terminal bud and seeds become dormant. The primary components are converted into secondary components such as phenols, vitamins, aromas, wax, and so on. Thus differentiation in this context has a broader meaning than only the formation of a new plant organ . 

Chlorella zofingensis cells are transferred to a growth medium, with a low nitrogen concentration (10% of normal concentration). After approximately 6-8 wk they develop a red colour, due to the decomposition of chlorophylls and synthesis of secondary carotenoids (stored in lipid droplets within the cytoplasm of the cells). At this stage the chloroplast are intact, although the surface area of thylacoids is mostly reduced.
