Properties and stability

1. Avoid contact with strong oxides.

2.Soluble in ethanol and dilute alkali solution, the ethanol solution is green. Reacts with dibasic hydroxy acid to produce yellow color. It forms an ionic association with quaternary ammonium cations and can be extracted with organic solvents.

Storage method

1. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. They should be stored separately from oxidants, etc. and avoid mixed storage.

2. Equip with corresponding varieties and quantities of fire-fighting equipment.

3. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.

Synthesis method

1. Dissolve o-toluidine in dilute sulfuric acid, cool, add sodium nitrite solution while stirring, and control the reaction temperature below 5°C. After the reaction is completed, heat to 40-50°C until no bubbles occur, cool and filter, and fractionate and refine o-cresol. Mix o-cresol with o-toluenesulfonic anhydride and zinc chloroform, stir and heat, react at 115-120°C for 7 hours, remove the remaining o-cresol with steam, and filter to obtain o-cresol red: o-cresol red is refined and dissolved in For glacial acetic acid, add the mixed solution of bromine and glacial acetic acid under stirring. After the addition is completed, heat at 40-50°C for 4 hours, cool and filter to obtain bromocresol purple.

2.Dissolve the reagents cresyl red and bromine in acetic acid respectively to make a solution, then add the bromine acetic acid solution under stirring. Cresol red in acetic acid solution:

Stir continuously for more than 4 hours at 40~50℃, stop heating, filter after cooling, wash the crystal with benzene and drain it, after drying it is methyl bromide Phenol purple.

Purpose

1. Acid-base indicator, the color changes from light yellow to purple, and the pH value of the color change range is 5.2-6.8.Used for thin layer chromatography to detect dihydroxy acids and halogen ions (except fluorine). It is also used as an extraction agent for the photometric determination of quaternary ammonium cations.
