Properties: Crystals, decomp 155-156°. [a]D23 +116° (c = 1.17); [a]25546 +137° (c = 5 in 2N NaOH). uv max: 226 nm (E1%1cm 402). Sol in water, slightly sol in methanol, propylene glycol. Aq solns have a pH around 6. Forms salts with acids and bases. Neutral or acid solns are unstable. Aq solns buffered to pH 10 with sodium carbonate can be stored without loss for one week at refrigerator temps.
