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 is used in hair dyes, lubricants,

liquid crystal displays, fuel cells and chemical-mechanical polishing. It is an environmental pollutant and is toxic to fish.[1][4]
