Moscow University Chemistry Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

(4-Nitrophenyl)diazonium tetrafluoroborate (4-NPD) has been proposed as the reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of flavonoids. 4-NPD has been demonstrated to undergo diazotization reaction with quercitin, naringenin, chrysin, morin, rutin, and naringin in an alkaline medium leading to the formation of yellow-orange products. The conditions of the spectrophotometric reaction have been optimized. A procedure for the spectrophotometric determination of flavonoids with the detection limits (1.5–3.9) × 10−7 M (0.05–0.16 μg/ml) has been developed. Quercitin has been determined in pharmaceutical preparations.
