Abstract

Procedures are developed for the flow-injection and sequential-injection determination of purine (xanthine) alkaloids (caffeine, theophylline, theobromine, and aminophylline) based on their spectrophoto-metric detection by the oxidative coupling reaction with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride under the action of potassium periodate in a weakly acidic aqueous medium (pH 5–6). The analytical range is 3–500 μg/mL, and throughput is 120–180 h–1. It is demonstrated that the developed procedures can be used for the quality control of pharmaceutical preparations.
