Description
A colorant found in old fustic, Cuba wood, yellow brazilwood, jakwood, and Osage orange tree. Morin crystallizes from ethanol to form colorless needles. It turns an intense yellow in alkaline solutions, but will slowly turn brown with exposure to air. Morin is used as a dye for wools: with Chromium it gives an olive green, with Aluminum and Tin, it is yellow, and with Iron, morin is a deep olive brown. It is also used as a spot test reagent for salts of Aluminum, Beryllium, Zinc, Gallium, Indium, and Selenium.
