Magnetically nano-CoFe 2 O 4 efficiently catalyzes oxidation of primary and secondary benzylic and aliphatic alcohols to give the corresponding carbonyl products in good yields. The reactions were carried out in an aqueous medium at room temperature in the presence of oxone (potassium hydrogen monopersulfate) as an oxidant. In addition, the catalysts could be reused up to 6 runs without significant loss of activities. Catalyst was characterized by SEM, XRD and IR.
Ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin essential in human nutrition, an antioxidant, a scavenger of free radicals in biological systems, and a cofactor of several enzymes. The reference range for ascorbic acid in healthy people is 6 - 20 mg L-1. The variable concentration of ascorbic acid within biology fluids was found in clinical investigations to be a metric for assessing the exact amount of oxidative stress in the body's metabolism. Electroanalytical techniques are a group of methods in analytical chemistry, especially with extensive application in pharmaceutical industries. These techniques attracted further attention due to their unique characteristics, such as reduced sample or solvent consumption, high analysis speed, low operating cost, and high sensitivity, which made them suitable candidates for replacement or supplementation for spectrophotometry and separation approaches. The purpose of this article is to scrutinize the mechanisms and applications of current electroanalytical methods, including amperometric techniques, square wave voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry, in their applications in pharmaceutical analysis for the detection of ascorbic acid. Related examples have been cited in the form of selected studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
