The determination of the iodine content of organic compounds as soluble iodides with N-bromosuccinimide

Abstract

A method is proposed for the determination of iodine in organic compounds as soluble iodides with N-bromosuccinimide. Details of the procedure are given for the determination of the iodine content of thyroxine sodium, diiodohydroxyquinoline, iodochlorohydroxyquinoline and iodoform. The experimental error does not exceed ±2 per cent. The application of the proposed method to the determination of the iodine content of pharmaceutical preparations such as tablets is also described.
