Synthesis method
1. Mix thymol, phthalic anhydride and anhydrous zinc chloride and heat. Add diethyl ether and benzene. Heat to reflux on a water bath, pour off the upper solvent, add methanol to the solid, and heat. Extract the remaining solid matter with methanol, add water dropwise to precipitate, and cool to obtain pure thymol phthalein.
2.Mix thymol, phthalic anhydride and anhydrouszinc chloride, heat to 105~110℃ with stirring, and keep warm for 6 ~8h for reaction:
After the reaction is completed, cool it first, then add a small amount of ether and benzene, and heat and reflux in a water bath to completely dissolve the unreacted thymol. Cool and crystallize. Separate the upper solvent, add methanol to the crystallization, extract the product, collect the extract, add water dropwise to the extract until the precipitation stops, cool and crystallize, which is thymolphthalein. According to the requirements of the pure product, it can be repeated with hot methanol Extraction and dripping precipitation process.
Purpose
1. Used as a pH indicator, the color change range is pH 9.4-10.6, from colorless to blue. Acid-base indicator for blood testing.
