| Use | Eosin Y is a xanthene dye used for differential staining of linked tissues and cytoplasm. In histopathology, it is used after hematoxylin and before methyl blue as a re-staining. It can also be used as a background stain to provide contrast for the nucleus. Eosin Y is a reagent for the preparation of a nigromycin-eosin (NE) stain and is used for alginic acid visualization in the hematoxylin-eosin (H & E) staining technique. |

| overview | according to the 2015 edition of "cosmetic safety technical specification", brominated fluorescein cosmetic dyes include 4 ',5'-dibromofluorescein, 2 ',4',5 ',7'-tetrabromofluorescein, 2 ',4',5 ',7'-tetrabromo-4, 7-dichlorofluorescein, 2 ',4',5 ',7'-Tetrabromo-4, 5,6, 7-tetrachlorofluorescein. These four dyes and their respective disodium salt dyes or lakes are allowed to be used for coloring cosmetics. Among them, 2 ',4',5 ',7'-tetrabromofluorescein is solvent red 43, also known as 2 ',4',5 ',7'-tetrabromo-3', 6 '-dihydroxyspiro [isopropylfuran -1(3H),9'(9H)-ton]-3-one, it is a dye and pigment |
| preparation | solvent red 43 is prepared as follows: add 61.0g of sodium hypochlorite solution (10%,86mmol) into a 250mL four-mouth flask, place an ice water bath externally, start stirring, add about 36g of water, 24.3g of 32% liquid alkali, slowly drip 13.9g of bromine (99%,86mmol) after the material temperature reaches 0~5 ℃, control the reaction temperature below 15°C. Determine the content (about 20% effective bromine) and reserve. Add 250g acetic acid into a 500mL four-mouth flask, start stirring, add 13.6g fluorescein (97.5%,40mmol), raise the temperature to 50~60 ℃, and stir quickly (300~400rpm) for 30min. The temperature was reduced to 25-30 ℃, and 134.0g of the above sodium hypobromite solution (20%,168mmol) was slowly added dropwise within 3-4 hours, during which the reaction temperature was controlled at 25-30 ℃. Heat preservation and stirring for 2 hours, sampling for liquid phase detection of bromination endpoint. Add appropriate amount of sodium bisulfite to eliminate residual hypobromous acid. Cooling to 15 ℃, suction filtration, crude filter cake. The crude filter cake is evenly beaten and filtered in about 100mL dilute hydrochloric acid aqueous solution (1 500), and desalting is repeated 3 times. The filter cake was dried at 100 ℃ to obtain 25.0g of light pink target product solvent red 43(HPLC purity 97.8%, content 97.8%,37.7mmol) with 94.3% yield. |
