Non-aqueous Conductimetric Titrations of Phenolic Compounds with Tetra-n-butyl Ammonium Hydroxide and Amines with Perchloric Acid in Acetonitrile Solvent

Abstract

Non-aqueous conductimetric titrations were carried out for
phenolic acids (2-nitrophenol,  4-nitrophenol, 3-methoxyphenol and
o-cresol) and their mixtures dissolved in acetonitrile with tetra-nbutyl
ammonium hydroxide dissolved in propan-2-ol. Also nonaqueous
conductimetric titrations were carried out for amines
(aniline and benzylamine) and their mixtures dissolved in acetonitrile
with perchloric acid dissolved in dioxane. The non-aqueous
conductimetric titration results have been interpreted in terms of
the relative acid and basic strength of the phenolic acids and the
arnines. The results distinguish non-aqueous titrations from those
carried out in aqueous medium
