Abstract:Using thallium(III) as an oxidant, we developed titrimetric and spectrophotometric methods for the estimation of glyoxal at mmole and µ mole levels, respectively. In the titrimetric method, thallium(I) formed is determined oxidimetrically with potassium bromate. In the spectrophotometric method, the absorbance of thallium(III) at 260 nm in the presence of 0.1 mol/L sodium chloride and 1.0 mol/L perchloric acid is measured. A plausible mechanism for the oxidation of glyoxal is proposed. Based on the selective o… Show more
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.
