N-chlorophthalimide as a new oxidant for direct titrations in aqueous acetic acid medium.

A stable new oxidimetric titrant, N-chlorophthalimide in anhydrous acetic acid, is proposed for direct titrations of a variety of simple and complex reductants such as As(III), Sb(III), Fe(II), ferrocyanide, iodide, ascorbic acid, hydroquinone, hydrazine, phenylhydrazine, benzhydrazide, isonicotinic acid hydrazide, semicarbazide, thiourea, aniline, phenol, oxine and its metal complexes, and anthranilic acid and its metal complexes.
