Resorcinol Monoacetate
C8H8O3
152.15
1,3-Benzenediol, monoacetate. Resorcinol monoacetate [102-29-4].
Packaging and storage
Preserve in tight, light-resistant containers.
Identification
A:
Fuse 3 drops with about 300 mg of phthalic anhydride and about 50 mg of zinc chloride: a small portion of the fused mixture when dissolved in 10 mL of 1 N sodium hydroxide produces an intense yellow-green fluorescence typical of fluorescein.
B:
Dissolve 0.5 mL in 3 mL of alcohol, add 3 drops of sulfuric acid, and boil: ethyl acetate, recognizable by its odor, is evolved.
Specific gravity 841:
between 1.203 and 1.207.
Acidity
A solution of 10 mL of Resorcinol Monoacetate in 20 mL of benzene, when shaken with 100 mL of water, requires not more than 0.50 mL of 0.10 N sodium hydroxide for neutralization, methyl orange TS being used as the indicator.
Loss on drying 731
Dry it on a steam bath for 1 hour: it loses not more than 2.5% of its weight.
Residue on ignition 281:
not more than 0.1%.
