Semimicro determination of selenium and tellurium by chloramine-T oxidation

Finely divided selenium and tellurium undergo oxidation to selenic and orthotelluric acids by a concentrated solution of chloramine-T in acid medium. An analytical procedure (accurate to <1 %) has been developed based on this reaction.

A titrimetric method for the determination of tetra-alkylthiuram disulphides by oxidation with chloramine-T

An analytical method for the determination of tetra-alkylthiuram disulphides has been developed, based on the quantitative oxidation of carbon disulphide produced by acidified chloramine-T to sulphuric and formic acids. Twenty-eight equivalents of chloramine-T are required per mole of a thiuram disulphide.

Determination of sulphur monochloride by oxidation with chloramine-T

A rapid method is described for the determination of sulphur monochloride by adding excess of chloramine-T and determining the excess iodometrically.

Analysis of metal thiourea complexes by chloramine-T oxidation

A rapid method is described for the analysis of metal thiourea complexes of Zn, Cd, Hg and Cu by adding excess of chloramine-T and determining the excess iodometrically. Colloidal suspensions of metal sulphides (Cu, Hg, Zn, Cd) have been found to undergo rapid oxidation to sulphate quantitatively in acid medium by chloramine-T.

Oxidation of polythionates with chloramine-T

Chloramine-T has been found to bring about the rupture of S-S link in polythionates in acid medium and oxidise all the sulphur present in the chain into sulphuric acid. Quantitative estimation of a polythionate may be made on the basis of this oxidation reaction.

Determination of carbon disulphide by chloramine-T

Carbon disulphide, on treatment with alcoholic potash, can readily be oxidised quantitatively by chloramine-T, converting all the sulphur to sulphuric acid. Fourteen equivalents of the oxidant are consumed for every mole of carbon disulphide. Since excess of chloramine-T may be determined iodimetrically, this reaction may be used for the determination of carbon disulphide. It may also be applied to the determination of xanthates.

A simple spectrophotometry method for the determination of tetracycline and doxycycline in pharmaceutical formulations using chloramine-T

A simple, rapid, accurate and inexpensive spectrophotometric method for the determination of tetracycline and doxycycline has been developed. The method is based on the reaction between these drugs and chloramine-T in alkaline medium producing red color products with absorbance maximum at the λ=535 and 525 nm for the tetracycline and doxycycline, respectively. The best conditions for the reactions have been found using multivariate method. Beer's law is obeyed in a concentration ranges 1. 03 x 10 -5 to 3. 61 x 10 4mol L -1 and 1. 75 x 10 -5 to 3. 48 x 10 4mol L -1 for the tetracycline and doxycycline, respectively. The quantification limits were 5. 63 x 10 -6 mol L -1 and 7. 12 x 10 -7 mol L -1 for the tetracycline and doxycycline, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of these drugs in pharmaceutical formulations and the results obtained were in good agreement with those obtained by the comparative method at the 95% confidence level.

Studies on the reactions of thionyl fluoride

Thionyl fluoride undergoes quantitative oxidation with chloramine-T and reduction with lithium aluminium hydride and sodium borohydride. At elevated temperatures, (>150°C) it reacts with metals such as copper, silver, zinc and lead forming the corresponding metal sulphides, fluorides and sulphur dioxide. With the respective metal oxides, the metal fluorides and sulphur dioxide are formed.

Investigations on the preparation, oxidation and reduction reactions of thiophosphoryl fluoride

Pure thiophosphoryl fluoride has been prepared by the fluorination of thiophosphoryl chloride by sodium fluoride in acetonitrile medium. Oxidation of this phosphoryl fluoride by acidified chloramine-T ruptures the phosphorus-sulphur bond and oxidises the sulphur present to the hexavalent state. Anhydrous hydrogen iodide reduces the sulphur to hydrogen sulphide and phosphorus to the trivalent state.

A method for the determination of dixanthogens

One mole of diethyl dixanthogen reacts with 26 moles of chloramine-T, and this reaction can be used for the determination of the dixanthogen. Higher alkyl dixanthogens react in a more complicated fashion, but may still be estimated using an empirical correction.
