Some observations on the spectrophotometric determination of nitrite using ergonovine-p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde
1991
Abstract The system ergonovine maleate-p-diethylaminobenzaldehyde in sulfuric acid media is applied to the kinetic-spectrophotometric determination of nitrite ions with competitive precision. The reaction rate is strongly enhanced by the presence of nitrite or ferric ions, being the nitrite in the “promoting” role of the reaction. Linear calibration plots are obtained for nitrite concentration ranges 0.3–2.4 ppm or 0.66–6 ppb. The influence of foreign compounds is also established.
On-line photochemical derivatization and flow-injection spectrophotometric determination of ergonovine maleate
1993
Abstract A flow-injection manifold is proposed for the on-line photochemical derivatization of ergonovine maleate with application to pharmaceutical formulations. The procedure is based on the reaction with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in presence of iron(III) and sulphuric acid medium. The reaction rate is improved by irradiation of the solution with a mercury lamp (254.0 nm). The calibration graph is linear over the range 3–74 μg ml−1 ergonovine, with a mid-range R.S.D. of 1.7% and a sample throughput of 34 h−1. The influence of foreign compounds was tested.
