Simultaneous voltammetric determination of acetophenetidin, aminopyrine, acetaminophenol and aminophenol on a glassy carbon electrode

The voltammetric behaviour of acetophenetidin(A(1)) aminopyrine(A(2)) acetaminophenol(A(3)) and aminophenol(A(4)) was investigated by linear-sweep, differential-pulse, cyclic voltammetry at a glassy carbon electrode. In a medium of 0.1 mol/L NaOH solution, 4 high sensitivity and resolution anodic peaks were obtained. Their peak potentials are about at 0.68 V, 0.51, 0.22 and - 0.06 V( vs. Ag/AgCl). They can be used for direct determination of A(1), A(2),A(3),A(4) in samples respectively. The method is simple and rapid. The mechanism of the electrode reaction was discussed.
