They are considered [[Amine oxide|N-oxides]] of [[azo compound]]s. Azoxy compounds are [[1,2-dipole]]s. Azoxy compounds are suspected to be genotoxic. == References == * IUPAC [[Gold Book]] [http://www.iupac.org/goldbook/A00567.pdf Definition] Guideline On The Limits Of Genotoxic Impurities [http://www.emea.eu.int/pdfs/human/swp/519902en.pdf] [[Category:functional groups]] [[ja:アゾキシ化合物]]
