Azobilirubin

Azobilirubin is a red-violet coloured compound formed by the condensation of diazotized sulfanilic acid with bilirubin in the van den Bergh reaction.[1] The quantity of bilirubin in patients with jaundice can be determined by the formation of azobilirubin in the presence of methanol.[2]
