2.
The general carbon skeleton of bromothymol blue is common to many indicators including chlorophenol red, thymol blue, and bromocresol green.
3.
An ethanol solution ( 0.04 wt % ) of bromocresol green has been proposed for TLC staining and is suitable for visualisation of the compounds with functional groups whose p " K " a is below 5.0 ( carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids, etc . ).
