Abstract

An azo compound or a tautomer thereof, wherein the azo compound is represented by the following Formula (1). In Formula (1), R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, aryl group, acyl group, carbamoyl group, alkylsulfonyl group, arylsulfonyl group, or heterocyclic group; R 2 represents —NR 5 R 6 or —OR 7 ; R 5 and R 6 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, aryl group, acyl group, carbamoyl group, alkylsulfonyl group, or arylsulfonyl group; R 7 represents an alkyl group or aryl group; R 3 represents a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, aryl group, alkoxy group, aryloxy group, acylamino group, carbamoylamino group, alkylsulfonylamino group, or arylsulfonylamino group; n is an integer of 3 to 5; and each R 4 , of which there are n in number, independently represents an alkyl group, aryl group, alkoxy group, aryloxy group, amino group, alkylthio group, arylthio group, acylamino group, alkylsulfonylamino group, or arylsulfonylamino group, and one R 4 may bind to another R 4 forming a ring.
