Application

Reinecke salt can be used as a precipitation reagent for the precipitation of basic compounds such as amines, amino acids, and alkaloids as their reineckate complexes. It is also used in the spectrophotometric determination of promazine along with alizarin S by the formation of the promazine ion-association complex.

A spectrophotometric method for the determination of some alkaloids (namely ephedrine HCl, cinchonine HCl, chlorpheniramine maleate, atropine sulphate and diphenhydramine HCl) as separate compounds as well as in pharmaceutical preparations through the formation of their ion-pair (reineckate complexes) is described.

Three accurate, rapid and simple atomic absorption spectrometric (AAS), conductometric and colorimetric methods were developed for the determination of gatifloxacin (GTF), moxifloxacin (MXF) and sparfloxacin (SPF). The proposed methods depend upon the reaction of ammonium reineckate with the studied drugs

An automatic method for the determination of amylocaine and bromhexine hydrochloride by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) is proposed. The drugs were determined indirectly by formation of reineckates, extraction into 1,2-dichloroethane and measurement of chromium in the organic phase. The chemical

A convenient spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of dimenhydrinate in bulk drug and dosage forms and in 1:1 combinations with aspirin, acetaminophen, meprobamate, phenylephrine, and tolbutamide. The method consisted of reacting dimenhydrinate with reinecke salt in an acidic
