Thymolphthalein is a phthalein dye used as 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 38,000 M−1 cm−1 at 595 nm.[2]

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

Thymolphthalein is also known to have use as a laxative[3] and for disappearing ink.[4]

Preparation

Thymolphthalein can be synthesized from thymol and phthalic anhydride.
