Ro*sol"ic (?), a. [Rose +
carbolic.] (Chem.) Pertaining to, or designating, a
complex red dyestuff (called rosolic acid) which is analogous
to rosaniline and aurin. It is produced by oxidizing a mixture of
phenol and cresol, as a dark red amorphous mass,
C20H16O3, which forms weak salts with
bases, and stable ones with acids. Called also methyl aurin,
and, formerly, corallin.
