Properties: Needles, mp 210-212°. uv max: 284 nm (e 21000).
Melting point: mp 210-212°
Absorption maximum: uv max: 284 nm (e 21000)
Derivative Type: (+)-Form
CAS Registry Number: 3405-51-4
Properties: Prisms from chloroform + light petr, mp 210-212°. [a]D +149° (c = 0.41 in dioxane). uv max: 284 nm (e 21000). Reacts as dibasic acid, dec slowly in presence of alkali. Solubilities of erdin are closely similar to those of geodin except that it is only very slightly sol in chloroform.
