Abstract

1. 1. A simple method has been devised for the estimation of phloroglucinol based on the formation of an intense colored compound with a modified Ehrlich reagent in the presence of trichloroacetic acid. Some factors affecting the formation of color have been studied. 2. 2. Careful regulation of trichloroacetic acid content in the system permits its estimation in 1–15 μg in the micro range and in 10–50 μg in the macro range. Phloroglucinol lends itself to ready separation by paper chromatography and estimation after clution from paper.
