[Histonet] Oil red O

[Rene J Buesa]

Not sure because for that designation to be used there have to be 2 equal groups and Oil Red O has 4 benzene rings and in 2 of them there are 4 methyl groups in "para" position so I doubt that the "O" is for "ortho".

May be the position of the active group on the benzene ring - "ortho" vs. "meta" vs. "para" ?

Rene,
You still have not answered the question - what does the "O" stand for?
