uses And Reactions Of Fluorescien?
Last year I briefly experimented with fluorescien. Adding it to water and the usual. I also used it as a PH indicator. This week I started another
extraction.
I placed two high lighter fluid containers in 200ml of water. Then I stored with heat and aloud the fluids to dissolve. To make sure I tested with a
UV light and made sure it glowed.
With a new source of fluorescein I wanted to ask what uses or reactions I could perform with this interesting material.
Thanks.

You could brominate it to make eosin, or iodinate to make erythrosin. The procedure is available in Vogel's Organic Chemistry 3rd edition in the
forum library.

It's there. Just look for Arthur Vogel as the author. Practical Organic Chemistry is the title.

Highlighters contain pyranine, not fluorescein.
At the end of the day, simulating atoms doesn't beat working with the real things...

thanks, I actual heard that but could not quickly confirm it. So would a reaction of fluorescien work with pyridine. I know that by adding a acid it
can turn blue. I have a bottle of it stored my lab.

Some highlighters contain fluorescein. If it boils down to a dark reddish-brown substance, it's most likely fluorescein. I know we already had a
discussion about this somewhere months ago, but I can't find it...

I still have mine in solution so I guess I will boil it down

Ctrl-F might be useful for that. It's page 985. BTW If you don't have any experience in chemistry, I would recommend not even trying to make
bromine.

I believe pyranine is more sensitive to pH changes, but I could be wrong.

I have 2 years of experience. I have made bromine and invented a great way to make nitric acid. Bromine is easy to make but I do not have any sodium
bromide at the moment. Distillation proves difficult. I have never dried bromine before but I have a fume hood.

well it looks easy. I wonder if it would work with pyranine. Just add bromine to it and alcohol filter and wash wit alcohol. thank you for the source!
Though it would make TetrabromoPyranine or something similar.
