A Simple, Safe and Efficient Synthesis of Tyrian Purple (6,6′-Dibromoindigo)

Abstract: 6,6’-Dibromoindigo is a major component of the historic pigment Tyrian purple, arguably the most famous dye of antiquity. Over the last century, chemists have been interested in developing practical syntheses of the compound We describe herein a new, reasonably simple and efficient synthesis of Tyrian purple which opens the way to the production of large quantities of the dye with minimal hazards and at low cost.

“…To determine protein content in the samples, nitrogen content was measured using an Elemental Combustion System 4010 (Costech Analytical Technol., Inc. USA), and then protein content was calculated by multiplying the elemental N content by 6.25 (16% N content in protein). Lipid content of the biofloc size classes was measured according to the procedure of Folch, Lees and Stanley (1957). To determine the lipid content of the commercial feed, method 920.39 of AOAC (1996) was used.…”
