Description

Dark green or brown-red powderChEBI: A member of the class of 2,1-benzoxathioles that is 2,1-benzoxathiole 1,1-dioxide in which both of the hydrogens at position 3 have been substituted by 4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl groups.


Cresol red is a member of the class of 2,1-benzoxathioles that is 2,1-benzoxathiole 1,1-dioxide in which both of the hydrogens at position 3 have been substituted by 4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl groups. It has a role as an acid-base indicator, a dye and a two-colour indicator. It is a 2,1-benzoxathiole, an arenesulfonate ester, a polyphenol and a sultone.

Cresol red Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Toluenesulfonic anhydride, o-cresol, and anhydrous zinc chloride are mixed, stirred and heated, and the condensation reaction is carried out at 115-120°C for about 7 hours, and the remaining o-cresol is purged by steam. Filter, the filter cake is dissolved with hot sodium carbonate aqueous solution, filter, add 1:1 hydrochloric acid to the clear filtrate to neutralize, and stir vigorously. The crystals were filtered out, washed with a small amount of water, and dried to obtain the finished product. If necessary, it can be purified by recrystallization from glacial acetic acid.

Uses

Acid-base indicator.
