Measures against Degradation

2) External stabilization in the presence of additives (post-measurement). 

Several patents claim enhancement of the hydrolytic stability of phosphites by inorganic bases or amines. The life of the hydroformylation catalyst HRh(CO)(PPh3)3/P(OPh)3 could be prolonged from 4 to 10 h by the addition 

A similar strategy has been used for the stabilization of water-soluble phosphites [172]. Incorporation of aryl groups with long-chain ammonium salts of sulfonates increases hydrolysis stability in comparison to triphenylphosphite (Table 2.1). 

Tabie 2.1 Improvement of hydrolysis stability due to ammonium sulfonate groups. 

Incorporation of long alkyl chains into the P-ligand enhances its hydropho-bicity therefore hydrolysis is restricted to the phase boundary. When a mixture of ortho- and /r r -w-nonylphenolphosphites was used instead of the pure ortho-substituted phosphite, a significant increase in hydrolysis stability was observed [173].

The design basis, especially safety features that are built into the installation, must be documented. Management of change programs must preserve and keep the base record current and protect against degradation or elimination of safety features, including such measures as maximum intended inventories and passive protection systems. 

A fuel oil stabilizer additive listed in QPL-24682 may be blended into naval distillate fuel at rates up to 35 lb/1,000 barrels to protect against degradation and improve storage stability as measured by ASTM D-5304. Method ASTM D-2274 may also be used if the test duration is extended from 16 to 40 hours. 

Incorporations, similar to that for putrescine, were observed for spermine (46) and spermidine (47) (also measured against arginine C-labels on asterisked carbons), and there was a similar distribution of the label. These amines can, like putrescine, then be converted into pyrrolizidine alkaloids via the hypothetical (44) both polyamines are known to be degraded to pyrrolines, resembling (44), plus 1,3-diaminopropane on oxidation with plant polyamine oxidases. 

Heat stabilizers are chemical additives used to protect polymers, especially those that contain regular repeating units, against degradation resulting from heat or exposure to UV radiation. Complexes of Cul and CuCl with dioctyl H-phosphonate or bis(2-chloroethyl) H-phosphonate are efficient thermal stabilizers for polyamide [122]. Polyamide, containing 0.012% of Cu and 0.011% of P, shows a weak reduction in its viscosity measured in 1000 h. 

Thermal stabilities of modified PVC samples acet-oxylated to varying degrees (reaction temperature 46°C) were determined [45]. Rate of thermal dehydrochlorination at 1% degradation was taken as a measure of thermal stability. The log of the degradation rate is plotted against the acetate content of the polymer in Fig. 2. 

Selective differential UV spectrophotometric method was presented for the determination of niclosamide in bulk and in its pharmaceuticals [43]. The method was based on measuring niclosamide in alkaline solutions against their neutral ethanolic solutions as blanks. The proposed method was sensitive, highly specific, and advantageous over the conventional UV assays, since the interference of the excipients, impurities, degradation products, or other accompanying drugs was nullified.
