White or reddish crystalline powder. The melting point was 163-164 °c. With the simultaneous evaporation of water vapor. Soluble in hot water, soluble in alcohol, ether, chloroform and sodium hydroxide solution, slightly soluble in cold water.
It is produced by a solid phase method and a solvent method, which do not require the treatment of dry powder of O-cresol sodium salt, which is highly hygroscopic, compared with the latter. The reaction material is a liquid phase carboxy reaction when CO2 is completed once, without the need for semi-vapor phenol, can be produced in the ordinary pressure equipment, reducing the use of dehydration and carbon carboxylation equipment. The principle of production is the same for both methods.
This product can be used for the manufacture of azo dyes, especially acid medium bleaching blue B Dye, it can also be used as raw material for the preparation of blue, purple, brown, green and other triphenylmethane dye more than 20 kinds of media.
