Basic Red 18, also known as Rhodamine B, is synthesized through a multi-step process involving the reaction of 3-diethylaminophenol with phthalic anhydride. This reaction typically occurs in the presence of a catalyst, such as zinc chloride, and proceeds through several intermediate steps. The exact conditions and reagents may vary depending on the specific synthesis method employed.
