Literature References: Prepn from 1-amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid and p-cresol: Lindstrom, Diehl, Anal. Chem. 32, 1123 (1960).

Properties: Red crystals from acetone. Sol in water. Absorption max (pH 10.10): 610 nm (e 20300). Functions as acid-base indicator: Aq solns are bright red at low pH, red at pH 7.1 to 9.1, blue at pH 9.1 to 11.4. The blue color at pH 10 is changed to red by the addition of calcium or magnesium.

Absorption maximum: Absorption max (pH 10.10): 610 nm (e 20300)

Use: As indicator in titration of Ca or Mg with EDTA.
