Abstract
Resorufin (7-hydroxy-3-phenoxazinone) reacts with thiophenols to give 2,8-di(arylthio) derivatives. The site of entry of the nucleophilic residues indicates protonation of resorufin at the ring nitrogen atom. The changes in the absorption spectra of the arylthio derivatives of resorufin in the visible region as a function of the pH of the solution are associated with the acid-base dissociation of these compounds with respect to the hydroxyl group. The ionization constants of some 2,8- and 2,4,6,8-tetrasubstituted resorufin derivatives were measured.
