Pigment yellow 139

Pigment yellow 139 is an organic compound that is used as a yellow-orange pigment.

It is classified as a derivative of isoindoline.

This yellow-orange solid is virtually insoluble in most solvents.

[1] It is prepared by addition of ammonia to phthalonitrile to give diiminoisoindole, which in turn condenses with barbituric acid.
