Description
Brownish-red crystals used as a red dye. Gallein was first prepared by Baeyer in 1871 by mixing Pyrogallic acid with Phthalic anhydride. Gallein was used as a dye in the late 19th century but was soon replaced by aniline colors. It produces a bluish-red color with Alumina or iron mordants and a dark violet with lead and tin mordants. Gallein is also used as an acid-base indicator and as a detection reagent for phosphates.
