TCI C0001 Cacotheline Monohydrate is a brucine-derived alkaloid long used as a classical redox indicator in analytical chemistry. It develops a distinct violet coloration upon reduction, making titration endpoints easy to read without instrumentation. Its best-known application is the determination of tin(II) and the qualitative spot testing of strong reducing agents. Supplied in 1 g and 5 g packs, it is toxic by nature and must be handled with gloves in a fume hood and stored cool, dry, and protected from light.
