A novel and rapid spectrophotometric method for the determination of paracetamol is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is based on the microwave assisted alkaline hydrolysis of paracetamol to p-aminophenol that reacts with S2- in the presence of Fe3+ as oxidant to produce a methylene blue-like dye having an absorptivity maximum at 540 nm. The experiment showed that paracetamol could be hydrolysed quantitatively to p-aminophenol in only 1.5 min under radiation power 640 W using a microwave in NaOH medium. The system obeys Beer's law in the range of 0-3.0 x 10(-4) mol l(-1) paracetamol. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity were found to be 3.2 x 10(-3) l mol(-1) cm(-1) and 0.047 microg cm(-2), respectively. The relative standard deviation (n=11) was 1.7% for 8.0 x 10(-5) mol l(-1) paracetamol. The method has been applied successfully to analysis of paracetamol in pharmaceutical preparation.
本文提出了一种测定扑热息痛的新颖快速分光光度法。该方法基于扑热息痛在微波辅助下于碱性条件下水解为对氨基酚,对氨基酚在Fe³⁺作为氧化剂存在的情况下与S²⁻反应,生成一种在540 nm处有最大吸收的类似亚甲基蓝的染料。实验表明,在640 W辐射功率下,使用微波,在NaOH介质中,扑热息痛仅需1.5分钟就能定量水解为对氨基酚。该体系在0 - 3.0×10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹扑热息痛范围内符合比尔定律。摩尔吸光系数和桑德尔灵敏度分别为3.2×10⁻³ L·mol⁻¹·cm⁻¹和0.047 μg·cm⁻²。对于8.0×10⁻⁵ mol·L⁻¹扑热息痛,相对标准偏差(n = 11)为1.7%。该方法已成功应用于药物制剂中扑热息痛的分析。
