Abstract: In this paper, relative basicity constants of three oxazine indicator dyes towards the system antipyrine Perchlorate—antipyrine acetate in anhydrous acetic acid are determined. The constant К of 9-diethylamino-5H-benzo[a]phenoxazone-5, 9-dimethylamino-5H-benzo[a]phenoxazone-5 and 9H -benzo[a]phenoxazone-9 equals 1.53, 0.82 and 0.7 . 10^-2, respectively.  A series of weak bases was titrated in anhydrous acetic acid using the above mentioned three indicators and it was shown by statistical analysis that the first indicator is convenient for titration of bases which рК_a (H₂0) value is approximately 7—6, the second one for bases of pK_a (H₂0) value about 5 and the third one for bases of pK_a (H₂0) value between 3 and 2.
