Thymolphthalein is an acid-base (pH) indicator. Its transition range is around pH 9.3-10.5. Below this pH, it is colorless; above, it is blue. The molar extinction coefficient for the blue thymolphthalein dianion is 38000 M^-1cm^-1 at 595 nm.^[1]

Thymolphthalein (pH indicator)
below pH 9.3		above pH 10.5
9.3	⇌	10.5

Preparation

Thymolphthalein can be synthesized from thymol and phthalic anhydride by Friedel-Crafts alkylation:
