Summary

An amplification method for the determination of 0.01–2 mg (9.1 x 10−6-1.8 x 10−3 M) of quinone or hydroquinone is described. It is based on the reduction of a strong acid solution of quinone by iodide to liberate an equivalent amount of iodine which is extracted into chloroform and then reduced to iodide. The resulting iodide is oxidized by bromine water to iodate which is determined by the Leipert amplification procedure. Hydroquinone is quantitatively oxidized to quinone by iodine, the excess of which is removed by extraction with chloroform, followed by amplification determination of the resulting iodide. The method is shown to be sufficiently sensitive to determine 10μg of quinone or hydroquinone.

Zusammenfassung

Eine Verstärkermethode zur Bestimmung von 0,01–2 mg (9,1 x 10−6 bis 1,8 x 10−3 M) Chinon oder Hydrochinon wurde beschrieben. Sie beruht auf der Reduktion einer stark sauren Lösung von Chinon durch Jodid, wobei eine äquivalente Menge Jod freigesetzt, mit Chloroform extrahiert und dann zu Jodid reduziert wird. Dieses wird mit Bromwasser zu Jodat oxydiert und nach Leipert bestimmt. Hydrochinon wird quantitativ mit Jod zu Chinon oxydiert, dessen Überschuß durch Extraktion mit Chloroform entfernt wird, worauf die Bestimmung des erhaltenen Jodids wie oben erfolgt. Das Verfahren ist hinreichend empfindlich, um damit 10μg Chinon bzw. Hydrochinon bestimmen zu können.
