A chemical compound formed by the removal of water from a diazoxy compound, containing a diazo group bonded to an anhydride functional group.
From 'diazo-' combined with 'anhydride' (from Greek 'an-' without + 'hydro' water). Terms evolved from 19th-century systematic chemical nomenclature.
The name 'anhydride' literally means 'without water,' and these compounds are so reactive they're made by carefully removing water molecules—chemists use them as powerful tools for connecting molecules.
