Pyranine is a hydrophilic, pH-sensitive fluorescent dye from the group of chemicals known as arylsulfonates.[1][2] Pyranine is soluble in water and has applications as a coloring agent, biological stain, optical detecting reagent, and a pH indicator.[3][4] One example would be the measurement of intracellular pH.[5] Pyranine is also found in yellow highlighters, giving them their characteristic fluorescence and bright yellow-green colour. It is also found in some types of soap.[6]
Synthesis
It is synthesized from pyrenetetrasulfonic acid and a solution of sodium hydroxide in water under reflux.[7] The trisodium salt crystallizes as yellow needles when adding an aqueous solution of sodium chloride.
