CAS 108-73-6

Chemical properties
Formaldehyde and resorcinol react beneath alkaline stipulations to structure orange-red compounds, which are colorimetric at a most absorption wavelength of 460nm to become aware of low traces of formaldehyde in fabric and clothing.
Since resorcinol can endure enol and ketone structure tautomerism, it can react with ammonia as follows:
Ketone response of resorcinol
Under the motion of ammonia, m-phenyltriamine is got with the aid of response in ketone, and the amine is hydrolyzed in the aqueous answer of acid to gain resorcinol. Resorcinol can additionally be reacted in the shape of enols:
