Fluorescein - Wikipedia
Fluorescein was first synthesized by Adolf von Baeyer in 1871. It can be prepared from phthalic anhydride and resorcinol in the presence of zinc chloride via the Friedel-Crafts reaction. A second method to prepare fluorescein uses methanesulfonic acid as a Brønsted acid catalyst.
