Chrysoïdine is still used to a large extent, and the brown—now known as “Bismarck brown”—is one of the staple products of the colour manufacturer at the present time.

In 1877 Hofmann and Witt established the constitution of chrysoïdine, the final outcome of all this work being to show that the three colouring-matters belonged to the same group.

Chrysoïdine introduced, the third azo-colour.

Ten years later Caro and Witt discovered an orange colouring-matter belonging to the same class, and the latter introduced the compound into commerce as “chrysoïdine.”

Solutions of diazo-salts act not only upon amido- and diamido-compounds, as we have seen in the case of aniline yellow and chrysoïdine, but also upon phenols, forming acid azo-colours.
