'''Arylide yellow''', also known as '''Hansa yellow''' and '''monoazo yellow''', is a family of [organic compound](/source/organic_compound)s used as [pigment](/source/pigment)s. They are primarily used as industrial colorants including [plastics](/source/plastic_colorant), building paints and inks. They are also used in artistic [oil paint](/source/oil_paint)s, [acrylics](/source/acrylic_paint) and [watercolors](/source/watercolors). These pigments are usually semi-transparent and range from orange-yellow to yellow-greens.  Related organic pigments are the [diarylide pigment](/source/diarylide_pigment)s. Overall, these pigments have partially displaced the toxic [cadmium yellow](/source/cadmium_yellow) in the marketplace. Painters such as [Alexander Calder](/source/Alexander_Calder) and [Jackson Pollock](/source/Jackson_Pollock) are known to have employed arylide yellow in their artworks.<ref>[http://colourlex.com/project/hansa-yellow/ Arylide Yellow], Colourlex</ref>

==Production==
The compound is obtained by [azo coupling](/source/azo_coupling) of [aniline](/source/aniline) and [acetoacetanilide](/source/acetoacetanilide) or their derivatives. The class of compounds was discovered in Germany in 1909.  The initially formed diazo compound [tautomer](/source/tautomer)izes to give a '''ketohydrazone''', which features extended pi-conjugation.<ref name=Ullmann1>K. Hunger. W. Herbst "Pigments, Organic" in ''Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry'', Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2012. {{doi|10.1002/14356007.a20_371}}</ref>

==Examples==
Members of this class include:
*[Pigment Yellow](/source/Pigment_Yellow) 6 ([CAS#](/source/CAS_registry_number) 2512-29-0), derived from 2-nitrotoluene (diazonium precursor) and [aniline](/source/aniline) (acetoacetanilide precursor) to produce medium yellows.
*[Pigment Yellow 3](/source/Pigment_Yellow_3), derived from 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline (diazonium precursor) and [2-chloroaniline](/source/2-chloroaniline) (acetoacetanilide precursor) to produce greenish-yellows.
*[Pigment Yellow 61](/source/Pigment_Yellow_61) a lake pigment
*[Pigment Yellow 74](/source/Pigment_Yellow_74), derived from 2-methoxy-4-nitroaniline (diazonium precursor) and [2-methoxyaniline](/source/o-Anisidine) (acetoacetanilide precursor) to produce greenish-yellows.
*[Pigment Yellow 97](/source/Pigment_Yellow_97), which contains the phenylamino[sulfonyl](/source/sulfonyl) substituent, which confers particularly high fastness.

== Artists Pigments ==
Several monoazo yellows are used as artists' pigments, frequently marketed under the names 'Hansa' or Arylide.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 August 2015 |title=Synthetic organic pigments - Monoazo (arylide) |url=https://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/pigmt1d.html#monoazo |website=Handprint}}</ref> These include:
