2,6 Dinitrophenylhy drazine

Because of the clinical significance of vitamin C, it is essential to In-able to detect and quantify its presence in various biological materials. Ana lytical methods have been developed to determine the amount of ascorbic acid in foods and in biological fluids such as blood and urine. Ascorbic acid may be assayed by titration with iodine, reaction with 2,4-dinitrophenylhy-drazine, or titration with a redox indicator, 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP) in acid solution. The latter method will be used in this experiment because it is reasonably accurate, rapid, and convenient and can be applied to many different types of samples. 

Oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzotellurophene reacted with hydroxylamine, 2,4-dinitrophenylhy-drazine, and semicarbazide to give the expected products2. 

Carbonyl-Free Methanol Add 5 g of 2,4-dinitrophenylhy-drazine to 500 mL of anhydrous methanol, heat the mixture under a reflux condenser for 2 h, and then recover the methanol by distillation. Store the carbonyl-free methanol in tight containers. 

A unique reaction leading to unique compounds takes place when secondary alcohols are treated with oxygen in the presence of benzophe-none as a sensitizer for photooxidation. The products, which are isolated by distillation at room temperature at 0.1-0.8 mm of Hg in 16-25% yields, show the presence of active oxygen and react with 2,4-dinitrophenylhy-drazine to form 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones of the corresponding ketones. 

Enantiomer selective coloration of optically active amines, our important project, was realized by chiral azophenol crown 4 incorporated with two units of optically active hydrobenzoin. The synthetic route is shown in Scheme 2. Reaction of 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)-l,4-dimethoxybenzene 22, which is derived from hy-droquinone monomethylether 19 by a three-step procedure, with the dibutyltin derivative 26 of optically active dihydrobenzoin gives optically active podand 23 in 63% yield. Cyclization of 23 with the ditosylate of polyethylene glycol, followed by oxidation with ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) and treatment with dinitrophenylhy-drazine, affords the desired chiral azophenol crowns 4n. 

Compounds such as hydroxylamine (NH2OH), hydrazine (NH2NH2), and substituted hydrazines such as phenylhydrazine (C6H5NHNH2) and 2,4-dinitrophenylhy-drazine, form C=N derivatives of aldehydes and ketones.
