Indophenol is an organic compound with the formula OC6H4NC6H4OH. It is deep blue dye that is the product of the Berthelot's reaction, a common test for ammonia.[2] The indophenol group, with various substituents in place of OH and various ring substitutions, is found in many dyes used in hair coloring and textiles.[3]
Indophenol blue is a different compound with systematic nameN-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)-1,4-naphthoquinoneimine.[7]
