Abstract

Twenty more aromatic amines are determined by the diazotization and coupling spectrophotometric technique, with 8-amino-1-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulphonic acid (H-acid) and N-(1-naphthy)ethylenediamine (N-na) as coupling agents. The following are determined by both methods: 2,4-diaminotoluene, 2-aminobenzotrifluoride, 4-benzoxyaniline, 2,4-dimethyl-6-nitroaniline, 4,5-dimethyl-2-nitroaniline, 2-amino-9-fluorenone, naphthionic acid (sodium salt), 3-aminonaphthalene-2, 7-disulphonic acid (monosodium salt), 2-aminonaphthalene-1-sulphonic acid, 4-aminonaphthalene-1-sulphonic acid and 2,4-dibromoaniline. The following are determined only by the N-na method: 5-aminosalicylic acid, 2-amino-4-nitrophenol, 4-amino-2,6-dichlorophenol hydrochloride, 2,5-dimethoxy-aniline, 4-aminothiophenol, 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, 1-naphthylamine, 4,4'-diaminobiphenyl-2,2'-disulphonic acid and 4,4'-diaminostilbine-2,2'-disulphonic acid. The optimum acidities for the different aromatic amines for the N-na method vary considerably. A number of aromatic amines cannot be determined by either method.
