Preparation of o-Cresolphthalein: It is obtained by the condensation of phthalic anhydride and o-cresol. Heating the mixture of phthalic anhydride and o-cresol mixture to melt, adding anhydrous zinc chloride at 110 °C and stirring 12-18h at 110-115 °C, then using steam to clean up the remaining o-cresol. The crude product is dissolved sodium hydroxide solution and filtered. Filtrate was neutralized with dilute hydrochloric acid, then we can get the white crystalline which is the end product.
