Organic Functional Group Analysis

International Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry, Volume 8: Organic Functional Group Analysis focuses on the application of versatile and reliable chemical methods for determining most of the more common organic functional groups. The publication first offers information acids and bases and nitrogen compounds, including differentiations, indicators, methods, amines, and amides. The text then examines carbonyl compounds and derivatives and hydroxyl compounds. Discussions focus on hydroxylamine hydrochloride-triethanolamine methods, hydroxylammonium formate, mercurimetric determination of aldehydes, acylation methods, and bromination method for aromatic hydroxyl compounds. The text takes a look at unsaturated compounds, esters, and carboxylic acid anhydrides. The manuscript also ponders on peroxides and sulfur compounds. Topics include ceric ammonium sulfate method, titration of mercaptans with mercuric perchlorate, and potassium bromate method for sulfides and disulfides. The book is a dependable reference for readers interested in the study of functional groups.
