4-Hydroxy-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene, commonly known as "Scarlet Red," is an organic compound characterized by its azo group, which is a functional group containing a nitrogen-nitrogen double bond (–N=N–). This compound features a hydroxyl group (–OH) and a dimethylamino group (–N(CH3)2) attached to a benzene ring, contributing to its chemical reactivity and properties. It is typically a red to orange solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its potential for hydrogen bonding, while the dimethylamino group increases its basicity and reactivity. This compound is primarily used as a dye in various applications, including textiles and food products, due to its vibrant color. However, it is important to note that some azo dyes have raised health concerns, as certain derivatives can be carcinogenic. Therefore, safety measures should be taken when handling this substance, and its use is regulated in many countries.

4-Hydroxy-4'-dimethylaminoazobenzene is a mutant strain of the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It has been shown to be able to form conjugates with azobenzene and cytosolic proteins, as well as having a p450 activity. The molecule has also shown to be active in rat liver microsomes and 3-methylcholanthrene. This functional group reacts with hydrogen bonds, which are found in the membrane system and are present in reconstituted systems.
