Crystal Violet Lactone CAS: 1552-42-7 | MF: C26H29N3O2 | MW: 415.53, Buy now for reliable and reproducible results from Tristains.

Crystal Violet Lactone (CVL) (CAS No. 1552-42-7) is the colorless lactone form of crystal violet. The compound is two dimethyliline groups with a tetrahedral carbon atom attached to a 6-dimethylaminophthalide group at the third position. It has a molecular formula of C26H29N3O2. Crystal Violet Lactone, also known as leuco crystal violet or crystal violet lactone paper, is a special dye characterized by its color-changing properties. It is dissolvable in slightly polar organic solvents and nonpolar solvents. Crystal Violet Lactone has the notable benefit of responding quickly to environmental factors with ease, thus being of great benefit in a wide variety of industrial and laboratory applications where visible color transitions are necessary.

Applications

• Dynamic Printing: Crystal Violet Lactone is widely used in dynamic and thermochromic printing applications, where reversible color changes occur in response to temperature variations. This property enables the development of advanced and visually interactive printed materials.
• Acid–Base Chemical Sensors: CVL is commonly employed in acid–base sensing systems, as it undergoes a colorless-to-colored transition within specific pH ranges, allowing for easy detection of chemical presence or pH variation.
• Fluorescent Dyes: Crystal Violet Lactone is a fluorescent dye used in biological imaging which is useful in observing biological processes and cellular structures using high sensitivity.
• Chemical Reaction Monitoring: In chemical experiments, CVL is used to indicate reaction progression through changes in refractive index or pH value.

Key features

• Consistency and Reliability: Maintains sharp, constant, and repeatable color changes over specified periods, giving reliable analytical outcomes.
• Broad range of applications: Shows wide applicability in laboratory research, industrial sensing, colorimetric printing, and diagnostic applications.
• Quick and Visible Color Change: Generates discrete and easily apparent color changes, which makes it ideal in studying chemical reactions, pH variations and changes in the environment.

General Description

Crystal Violet Lactone (CVL) (CAS No. 1552-42-7) is a colorless lactone derivative of crystal violet that possesses distinctive reversible color-changing properties. It has a structural composition of two groups of dimethylaniline attached to 6-dimethylaminophthalide by a tetrahedral carbon atom to the 3-position. CVL has a molecular formula of C26H29N3O2, and it is a very versatile dye that finds a number of applications. The compound is colorless until activated by chemical or physical sources, and then it reversibly transforms its color. This characteristic allows it to be especially useful in chemical sensors, thermochromic systems and color-change printing systems, and in analytical applications that need visual display of non-visible values, like temperature or pH.
