Rubrocurcumin is a red-colored dye that is formed by the reaction of curcumin and boric acid. [1]
The reaction of curcumin with borates in presence of oxalic acid produces rubrocurcumin. [2]
Rubrocurcumin produces a red-colored solution.
Rubrocurcumin is a neutral molecule, while rosocyanine is ionic. In rubrocurcumin, one molecule of curcumin is replaced with oxalate compared to rosocyanine.
Complexes with boron such as rubrocurcumin are called 1,3,2-dioxaborines. [2]
