The dyes were all fed at the 0.03 percent level, and the more active isomers were also examined at the 0.01 percent level. The isomers are listed in order of decreasing activity, with semiquantitative values based on p-dimethylaminoazobenzene as 6: 6- (p- dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline, 200+ ; 5-(p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline-1-oxide, 200+; 5-(p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline, 150; 6-(p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline-1-oxide, 100; 4-(p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline-1-oxide, 22; 4-(p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline, 15; 3- (p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline-1-oxide, 3-(p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline, 7-(p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline-1-oxide, 7-(p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline, 8-(p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline-1-oxide, 8-(p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline, and 2-(p-dimethylaminophenylazo)quinoline-1-oxide, with all the latter less than 2.Read More
