The appHcations for -phenylenediamines are limited but are useful for forming heterocycHc compounds and as analytical reagents for identifying a variety of functional groups. 

The other analytical methods necessary to control the typical specification given in Table 5 are, for the most part, common quality-control procedures. When a chemical analysis for purity is desired, acetylation or phthalation procedures are commonly employed. In these cases, the alcohol reacts with a measured volume of either acetic or phthalic anhydride in pyridine solution. The loss in titratable acidity in the anhydride solution is a direct measure of the hydroxyl groups reacting in the sample. These procedures are generally free from interference by other functional groups, but both are affected adversely by the presence of excessive water, as this depletes the anhydride reagent strength to a level below that necessary to ensure complete reaction with the alcohol. Both procedures can be adapted to a semimicro- or even microscale deterrnination. 

Advances have been achieved in recent years, such as the use of CL reagents as labels to derivatize and sensitively determine analytes containing amine, carboxyl, hydroxy, thiol, and other functional groups and their application in HPLC and CE [35, 36], the synthesis and application of new acridinium esters [37], the development of enhanced CL detection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labels [38], the use of immobilization techniques for developing CL-based sensors [39-42], some developments of luminol-based CL in relation to its application to time-resolved or solid-surface analysis [43], and the analytical application of electrogenerated CL (ECL) [44-47], among others. 

Analytically, epoxy groups are determined by the reaction with hydrogen halide and back titration with a standard base. Other functional groups present may cause interference problems and result in poor end points. Pyridinium chloride-pyridine is a recommended reagent for the analysis of bisphenol-diglycidyl ether resins [22,23],...
