  • Iodometric Determination of Glucose and Ribose Using Potassium Iodate As Novel Reagent in Acetic Acid Medium
    Journal of Analytical & Pharmaceutical Research Mini Review Open Access Iodometric determination of glucose and ribose using potassium iodate as novel reagent in acetic acid medium Abstract Volume 8 Issue 5 - 2019 In this work, we have reported a simple, cost effective and reliable method for the determination of glucose iodometrically by making use of potassium iodate. This volumetric Prakruthi Aiyappa K, Harshitha BL, Chaitra method determines glucose instantly, thereby greatly reduces the time of determination.

In a typical experiment, a known excess of standard solution of HIO was added to a known amount of glucose. Glucose is the major carbohydrate found in blood and a chief 3 After completion of the reaction, unreacted HIO3 was determined by source of energy in human body. The blood glucose levels are perfectly iodometry. By carrying out a blank experiment simultaneously, the maintained under the influence of hormones like insulin. However amount of HIO3 consumed was determined. As the overall reaction the hormonal imbalance sometimes may result in abnormalities requires one mole of HIO per molecule of glucose, which is 1 3 of glucose metabolism and results in diseased condition. Thus the equivalent to one mole of iodine and hence the molecular weight ‘m’ detection of blood glucose levels can provide a basic understanding of of glucose is determined using the following equation.

License and terms: see end of document. * Corresponding author Keywords: acetoxylation; benzylic; iodate; NHPI; oxidation; radical Abstract A method for the selective monooxdiation of secondary benzylic C–H bonds is described using an N-oxyl catalyst and a hyperva- lent iodine species as a terminal oxidant. Combinations of ammonium iodate and catalytic N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) were shown to be effective in the selective oxidation of n-butylbenzene directly to 1-phenylbutyl acetate in high yield (86%). This method shows moderate substrate tolerance in the oxygenation of substrates containing secondary benzylic C–H bonds, yielding the corresponding benzylic acetates in good to moderate yield. Tertiary benzylic C–H bonds were shown to be unreactive under similar conditions, despite the weaker C–H bond. A preliminary mechanistic analysis suggests that this NHPI-iodate system is functioning by a radical-based mechanism where iodine generated in situ captures formed benzylic radicals.
