The determination of hydrazine and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine,separately or in mixtures,by high-pressure liquid chromatography

A rapid, sensitive liquid chromatographic method for the determination of hydrazine and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, separately or in mixtures of varying proportions, is described. The procedure involves salicylaldehyde derivative formation followed by chromatography on a reversed phase (octadecylsilane) column with acetonitrile (52%)—0.14 M potassium dihydrogenphosphate (48%) as a mobile phase and u.v. (254 nm) detection. This system is sensitive to 2 μg ml^-1 of hydrazine and 5 μg ml^-1 of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine and has a relative standard deviation of less than 1%. Monomethylhydrazine forms an unstable salicylaldehyde hydrazone; although it cannot be determined, it can be detected (sensitivity 5 μg ml^-1 ) and does not interfere with quantitative measurement of either hydrazine or 1,1-dimethylhydrazine.     

Determination of hydrazine and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine as salicyldehyde derivates by liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection

Summary Determination of hydrazine and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine after derivatization with salicylaldehyde was done using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. The oxidation of the phenolic group of salicylaldazine (S-HY) and salicylaldehyde-1,1-dimethylhydrazone (S-UDMH) was optimized with respect to ionic strength, pH, and applied potential. Less than 5 ng of S-HY and S-UDMH could be detected. The detection limits for hydrazine and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine solutions were estimated to be 0.025 and 0.20 ppm, respectively.     

Sorption-chromatographic determination of hydrazine and its substituted derivatives in air

Working conditions were found for the chemisorption preconcentration of hydrazine, phenylhydrazine, and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine from air with tubes containing silica gel with immobilized 4-chloro-5,7-dinitrobenzofurazan and the subsequent determination by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection. A recovery of 98% (hydrazine), 90% (phenylhydrazine), and 97% (1,1-dimethylhydrazine) is attained at a thickness of the sorbent layer of 2 cm, an aspiration rate of 0.2–0.8 L/min, and a volume of aspirated air of 10 L. Silica gel with a particle size of 0.1–0.3 mm impregnated with 4-chloro-5,7-dinitrobenzofurazan (2 wt %) was used as the sorbent. The detection limits of compounds without regard for preconcentration after their desorption are 0.01 (hydrazine), 0.017 (1,1-dimethylhydrazine), and 0.015 mg/m³ (phenylhydrazine).     

Simultaneous Determination of Hydrazine,Methylhydrazine, and 1,1-Dimethylhydrazine by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Pre- and Post-Column Derivatization by 5-Nitro-2-Furaldehyde

Approaches to the chromatographic determination of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine and two main products of its degradation (hydrazine and methylhydrazine) on their simultaneous presence are proposed using derivatization by 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde and multi-wavelength spectrophotometric detection of the formed derivatives in the visible spectral region. A combination of preliminary derivatization with separation in the reversed-phase HPLC mode and also ion-chromatographic separation with post-column derivatization allowed us to reach the limits of detection for analytes lower than 1 μg/L and to determine 1,1-dimethylhydrazine at the level of the maximum permissible concentration without preconcentration. The developed approaches were tested on an acid extract of a sample of peat bog soil collected at the place of impact of the first stage of a carrier rocket. The identity of the results obtained by different methods and the high level of soil pollution by hydrazines are shown.     

Gas-chromatographic determination of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine in water

A gas-chromatographic procedure for the determination of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine in water was developed on the basis of its reaction with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde yielding the corresponding hydrazone, the extraction of the latter from water with an organic solvent, its subsequent preconcentration by evaporation, and the determination on a gas chromatograph with a nitrogen-phosphorus detector. The determination limit of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine is 0.03 μg/L. The relative error of the determination is no larger than 22% in the concentration range 0.06–0.60 μg/L and 33% at a level of 0.03 μg/L.     

Spectrophotometric determination of hydrazine,methylhydrazine, and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine with preliminary derivatization by 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde

5-Nitro-2-furaldehyde, a new derivatizing agent for the spectrophotometric determination of hydrazine, methylhydrazine, and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine is proposed. It is characterized by high solubility in water and by a substantial difference in the positions of absorption bands of the formed colored derivatives. The kinetics of the reaction of analyte derivatization is studied, and reaction conditions (pH 5, concentration of derivatizing agent 2 mM, 60° C, duration 40 min) are optimized. The limits of detection are 5, 3, and 1.5 μg/L for hydrazine, methylhydrazine, and 1,1-dimetlhydrazine, respectively. A possibility of the spectrophotometric determination of analytes in their simultaneous presence using the Firordt method is shown. The developed approach is successfully applied to the analysis of polluted peat bog soil selected at a place of impact of the first step of a carrier rocket.     

Highly sensitive determination of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine by high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry with precolumn derivatization by phenylglyoxal

A new highly sensitive and rapid approach to the determination of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine in natural water is developed (determination range is 0.03–1 μg/L). It is based on the use of high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry with precolumn derivatization by phenylglyoxal and does not require any preconcentration. Derivatization, chromatographic separation conditions, and tandem mass spectrometry detection parameters are chosen. Intra-day precision of the results of measurements of 1,1- dimethylhydrazine in natural water is 12–16%, and inter-day precision is 16–22%. The lowest limit of detection and the lowest limit of quantification are 0.010 μg/L and 0.030 μg/L, respectively.

Fluorometric Determination of Chlorzoxazone via Chemical Derivatization

Abstract

Parameters for the fluorometric determination of chlorzoxazone based on chemical derivatization with various fluorogenic reagents is presented. Among the reagents utilized were dansyl chloride, fluorescamine, 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and salicylaldehyde. The reagents were reacted with either intact chlorzoxazone or with the o-aminophenol and semicarbazide derivatives formed by reaction of the drug with aqueous base and hydrazine hydrate, respectively. The fluorophor formed by basic hydrolysis of chlorzoxazone followed by reaction with fluorescarnine was the most sensitive procedure investigated. Fluorescence was linear over the range 0.27–3.4 μg/ml. Application of the procedure to the analysis of chlorzoxazone in a dosage form and in spiked human plasma and urine samples gave accuracy in the range 1–4%.     

HPLC Determination of Trace Hydrazine Levels in Phenelzine Sulfate Drug Substance

Abstract

An HPLC procedure for the estimation of trace hydrazine levels in phenelzine sulfate drug substance has been developed. The hydrazine is derivatized at ambient temperature with salicylaldehyde, and the salazine derivative is measured using short wavelength UV (209 nm). The salazine is separated from unreacted salicylaldehyde and other compounds using a mobile phase consisting of 60:40 acetonitrile-water. The mobile phase was pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min through a 150 mm × 4.6 mm i.d. reverse phase column (5 μm octadecylsilane, 30% carbon loading). The limit of detection of salazine produced when hydrazine sulfate reacts with salicylaldehyde in an analytical sample was found to be equivalent to 10 ppm of hydrazine (based upon 100 mg of phenelzine sulfate). Absorbance and hydrazine concentration are linear over the range of 10–1000 ppm of hydrazine, with an r² of 0.9998 (n=7) based on peak height. Five samples of phenelzine sulfate analyzed for hydrazine content with salicylaldehyde gave an interassay reproducibility of 2.1%.

Determination of hydrazines by chip electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection

In this report, a new approach for the fast determination of hydrazine compounds (hy) in complex matrices is presented. The experimental protocol is based on poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) microchip separations with contactless conductivity detection using a compact portable device, which integrates all separation and detection components. Three hy (hydrozine (Hy), methylhydrazine (MH), and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH)) were separated within < 30 s at a separation voltage of 3.8 kV using a L(-)-histidine/2-(N-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid) (His/MES) buffer (25:50 mM, pH 5.87). The contactless conductivity detection enables detection limits for Hy, MH, and UDMH of 11.9, 35.5, and 337.8 ng/mL, respectively, with linear concentration dependence up to 10 μg/mL. In complex matrices such as soil samples or river water, interferences were eliminated by implementing ultrasound-assisted headspace single-drop microextraction of hy under strongly alkaline conditions, using an aqueous drop of His/MES buffer as the extractant phase. The incorporation of this miniaturized sample preparation step led to improved limits of detection for Hy, MH, and UDMH of 6.5, 15.3, and 11.4 ng/mL, respectively. The overall protocol demonstrates a promising approach for interfacing chip electrophoresis with real-world applications.     

A sensitive chromatographic determination of hydrazines by naphthalene-2,3-dialdehyde derivatization

A new high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the sensitive simultaneous determination of hydrazine (Hy), monomethylhydrazine (MMH) and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) based upon the derivatization of hydrazines with naphthalene-2,3-dialdehyde and the separation of the derivatives on Zorbax Eclipse AAA column in a single chromatographic run under acidic conditions (pH 2.4) was developed. Hydrazine and monomethylhydrazine derivatives were found to be strongly fluorescent at λ_ex?=?273?nm, λ_em?=?500?nm. It was shown that UDMH derivative can be detected as non-fluorescent hydrazone at 290?nm by UV-detection. Limits of detection were 0.05?µg?·?L^?1 for Hy and MMH, and 1?µg?·?L^?1 for UDMH for the injection volume of 100?µL. The method was validated for water sample analysis. It proved to be selective, accurate and precise with the supplementary advantage of the simple and rapid sample preparation.     

Organosilyl Isocyanates. Reactions with Hydrazine, 1,1-Dimethylhydrazine,and 1-Methyl-1-[2-(1-Methylhydrazino)ethyl]hydrazine and Structural and Electronic Characteristics

Reactions of organosilyl isocyanates with hydrazine, 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, and 1-methyl-1-[2-(1-methylhydrazino)ethyl]hydrazine provide a facile synthetic route to urea and previously unknown semicarbazides. Quantum chemistry was used to study the structure and electronic properties of (chloromethyl)-dimethylsilyl isocyanate and (chlorodimethylsilyl)methyl isocyanate and to obtain the thermodynamic parameters of their isomerization.     

Trifluoromethanesulfonic Hydrazides

We succeeded to observe at low temperature in reactions of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride and trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride with hydrazine, phenyl hydrazine, and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine a formation of the corresponding trifluoromethanesulfonic hydrazides that at heating to room temperature decomposed liberating nitrogen and affording trifluoromethanesulfinic acid. 2-Phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic hydrazide reacted with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride to furnish trifluoro-N'-(2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-ylcarbonyl)methane-sulfonic hydrazide that decomposed at heating with elimination of trifluoromethanesulfinic acid and nitrogen yielding 2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbaldehyde.     

Anodic oxidation of hydrazine and its methylderivatives on bare Pt and Pt electrode surfaces modified by underpotential metal adsorbates in acetonitrile

The electrooxidation of hydrazine and its methylderivatives (methylhydrazine and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine) on bare Pt and Pt electrode surfaces modified by underpotential metal adsorbates was studied in acetonitrile. On bare Pt, one-third of the molecules of the substances under examination undergo a two-electron oxidation to the corresponding diimides, while the remaining number of molecules act as the required proton acceptors in neutral acetonitrile. In alkaline solutions, hydrazine undergoes a quantitative four-electron oxidation process, while its methyl derivatives are oxidized quantitatively to the corresponding diimides in the same media. The pronounced inhibition effects on hydrazine oxidation caused by underpotential T1 and Pb adsorbates were interpreted in terms of a change in the chemical interaction of hydrazine molecules and the electrode surface modified by the underpotential metal adsorbates.     

Electrochemical determination of hydrazine and methyl- and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine in air

An electrochemical cell capable of detecting levels of hydrazine, methylhydrazine (MMH) and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) in air is described. It is coupled with a dynamic air-sampling system and electronic control and amplification circuitry to provide a direct-reading portable analyser. The characteristics of this monitoring instrument are discussed. While most of the reported data are specifically for MMH vapour analysis, qualitatively similar results can be obtained when using this instrument for hydrazine or UDMH measurements.     

Determination of 1,1-Dimethylhydrazine by Reversed-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Spectrophotometric Detection as a Derivative with 4-Nitrobenzaldehyde

A procedure was developed for the determination of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with spectrophotometric detection and preliminary derivatization by the reaction with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde. Conditions were selected for the chromatographic separation and the detection of the peaks of the reagent and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde dimethylhydrazone. The optimum conditions were found for the derivatization of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde. The determination limit of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine in aqueous solutions was 120 g/L (2 M/L).     

Temporary inactivation of plasma amine oxidase by alkylhydrazines. A combined enzyme/model study implicates cofactor reduction/reoxidation but cofactor deoxygenation and subsequent reoxygenation in the case of hydrazine itself

It has been known for some time that hydrazine and its methyl and 1,1-dimethyl analogues induce inactivation of the copper-containing quinone-dependent plasma amine oxidase but that the activity recovers over time, suggesting metabolism of all three inhibitors. However, the mechanism responsible for loss and regain of activity has not been investigated. In this study a combination of enzyme studies under a controlled atmosphere along with model studies using 5-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone to mimic the 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine quinone (TPQ) cofactor of the enzyme suggest that regain of enzyme activity represents two different O(2)-dependent processes. In the case of methylhydrazine and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, we propose that the inactive methylhydrazone/azo form of the enzyme slowly rehydrates and eliminates MeN=NH to give the triol cofactor form, which instantly reoxidizes to the catalytically active quinone form in the presence of O(2). Metabolism of methylhydrazine represents its conversion to CH(4) and N(2), and of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine to CH(2)=O, CH(4), and N(2). In the case of hydrazine itself, however, we propose that the inactive hydrazone/azo form of the enzyme instead undergoes a slow decomposition, probably facilitated by the active-site copper, to give N(2) and a novel 5-desoxy resorcinol form of the cofactor. The latter undergoes a rapid, but noninstantaneous reoxygenation at C5 to restore the active cofactor form, also probably mediated by the active-site copper.
