Sulfabenzamide
»Sulfabenzamide contains not less than 99.0percent and not more than 100.5percent of C13H12N2O3S,calculated on the dried basis.
Packaging and storage
Preserve in well-closed,light-resistant containers.
Clarity and color of solution
Dissolve 2.0g in 15mLof 1Nsodium hydroxide,with warming:a colorless to pale yellow solution having not more than a slight turbidity is produced.
Identification
A:
Infrared Absorption á197Kñ.
B:
To about 100mg,suspended in 2mLof water,add 100mg of sodium bicarbonate:it dissolves with effervescence (distinction from sulfanilamide,sulfapyridine,sulfathiazole,sulfadiazine,and sulfaguanidine).
Melting range,Class Iá741ñ:
between 180and 184.
Loss on drying á731ñ
Dry it at 105for 2hours:it loses not more than 0.5%of its weight.
Selenium á291ñ:
0.001%,a 300-mg test specimen and 3mLof Stock Solutionbeing used.
Heavy metals,Method IIá231ñ:
0.002%.
Ordinary impurities á466ñ
Test solution:
methanol.
Standard solution:
methanol.
Eluant:
a mixture of chloroform,methanol,and glacial acetic acid (90:5:5).
Visualization:
1.
Assay
Transfer about 800mg of Sulfabenzamide,accurately weighed,to a 125-mLconical flask,and dissolve in 25mLof dimethylformamide.Add 3drops of thymol blue TS(prepared with methanol),and titrate with 0.1Nsodium methoxide VSto a blue endpoint.Perform a blank determination,and make any necessary correction.Each mLof 0.1Nsodium methoxide is equivalent to 27.63mg of C13H12N2O3S.
