Abstract: Let $(A,sigma)$ be a central simple algebra with an orthogonal involution. It is well-known that $O(A,sigma)$ contains elements of reduced norm $-1$ if and only if the Brauer class of $A$ is trivial. We generalize this statement to Azumaya algebras with orthogonal involution over semilocal rings, and show that the "if" part fails if one allows the base ring to be arbitrary.
