Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an analytical detection method, specifically, the establishment of a "K2S2O8-Na2S2O3-CuCl2-NH4OH" clock system. Based on the different responses of this system to different concentrations of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone, i.e., the different induction times, a quantitative analysis method for 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone is realized, which belongs to the field of analytical chemistry. Background Technology
[0002] 2,4,6-Trihydroxyacetophenone, with the structure shown in Formula (I), appears as a pale yellow crystalline powder and is soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and hot water. 2,4,6-Trihydroxyacetophenone is the glycosidic aglycone of acetophenone glycosides from Curcuma longa, and it has cholesterol-lowering effects, enhancing the activity of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase. 2,4,6-Trihydroxyacetophenone also stimulates bile secretion through multidrug resistance-associated protein 2. Therefore, it is commonly used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and in the synthesis of novel antioxidants such as flavanones.
[0003] Current methods for detecting 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone include high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. However, these methods are complex and costly. The quantitative analysis method for 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone described in this invention is characterized by high accuracy, ease of operation, and convenience.
[0004]
[0005] The structure of structural formula (Ⅰ) 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention aims to provide a novel quantitative detection method for 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone, specifically a method for quantitative detection of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone using a pH clock system of "K2S2O8-Na2S2O3-CuCl2-NH4OH" as the detection solution. This method is based on a standard curve (working curve) method developed using the sensitive response of this pH clock system to 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone. Specifically, the "K2S2O8-Na2S2O3-CuCl2-NH4OH" pH clock reaction system is used as the detection solution, and the pH change over time is recorded. When the pH clock reaction begins, equal volumes of a series of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone sample solutions of different concentrations are added to the pH clock system. The quantitative detection of the 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone sample is achieved based on the different induction times generated by the system when the concentration of the sample solution in the pH clock system varies. The induction time is the time required for the pH to stabilize after the start of the pH clock system reaction. A working curve was established based on the relationship between the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in a pH clock system and the induction time. The x-axis represents the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the pH clock system, and the y-axis represents the induction time t. When the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the system is 2.5 × 10⁻⁶, a working curve is established. -4 mol / L to 7.5×10 -4 When the concentration is between mol / L, the induction time t has a linear relationship with the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone, which allows for the quantitative detection of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the sample.
[0007] The difference between this quantitative detection method and the prior art is that the present invention uses the "K2S2O8-Na2S2O3-CuCl2-NH4OH" pH clock system as the detection solution, and the different responses of this system to different concentrations of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone, i.e., different induction times, to achieve quantitative analysis of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone.
[0008] The detectable concentration range of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the detection solution (pH clock system) is 2.5 × 10⁻⁶. -4 mol / L to 7.5×10 -4 mol / L.
[0009] When 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone is detected in the detection solution (pH clock system), the temperature of the pH clock system is controlled at any specific temperature within the range of 20-30 °C.
[0010] Using the pH clock system described above, the detectable concentration range of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone is the optimal concentration range determined experimentally. Within this concentration range, the induction time responds well to changes in the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone, exhibiting a large linear correlation coefficient. Furthermore, the concentration ranges of each component in the detection solution (pH clock system) are shown in Table 1, and the optimal concentrations of the detection solution (pH clock system) obtained through multiple experiments are shown in Table 2. Table 1: Concentration range of each component in the pH clock system
[0011] Table 2: Optimal concentrations of each component in the pH clock system
[0012] The specific experimental steps are as follows: 1. Prepare the test solution (pH clock system) according to the concentration range specified in Table 1, and control its temperature at any specific temperature within the range of 20-30 ℃. Insert the prepared working electrode (pH composite electrode, Leici, E-331) into the solution. Connect the other end of the working electrode to the computer via a potential / temperature / pH integrated tester (Jiaxing Disheng Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., ZHFX-595). After opening the chemical signal acquisition and analysis program on the computer and setting the acquisition time and sampling speed, quickly click the start button to monitor the pH of the solution. The computer records the collected pH change curve over time, i.e., the pH clock spectrum. When a substance needs to be detected, add the analyte quickly at the same time as the pH clock system reaction begins, and record the pH change over time in the same manner.
[0013] The basic parameters of a pH clock spectrum include: Induction time: The time required for the pH clock system reaction to reach pH stability.
[0014] Establish a working curve to show the relationship between the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the detection solution and pH induction time. A series of low-concentration 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone solutions were prepared using ethanol as the solvent as sample solutions. Simultaneously with the start of the pH clock system reaction, 100 μL of each of these sample solutions of different concentrations was added to 40 mL of the pH clock system using a pipette, resulting in a 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ ppm concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the system. -4 mol / L - 7.5 × 10 -4 The pH clock system response changes within the range of mol / L; the induction time is denoted as t. The induction time t varies depending on the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the system. A graph is plotted with the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the system on the x-axis and t on the y-axis. When the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the system is between 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ mol / L... -4 mol / L - 7.5 × 10 -4 When the concentration is between mol / L, the induction time t of the pH clock system has a linear relationship with the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone, and the working curve is obtained.
[0015] Quantitative detection of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone When a test sample of unknown concentration is added to the pH clock system at the start of the pH clock system reaction, the induction time (t) of the corresponding pH clock system can be measured. Based on the relationship between t and concentration on the working curve, the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the detection system can be obtained, and then the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the test sample can be calculated.

[0028] A pH clock system using K₂S₂O₈-Na₂S₂O₃-CuCl₂-NH₄OH as the substrate was applied as the detection solution for the quantitative analysis of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone. Equal volumes of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone sample solutions of different concentrations were added to the pH clock system to establish a working curve (e.g., a linear relationship) relating the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the detection system to the induction time. This allowed for the detection of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the pH clock system, and the subsequent calculation of the concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the test sample.
[0029] (1) Preparation of detection solution First, prepare 0.1 mol / L K2S2O8 solution, 0.0048 mol / L Na2S2O3 solution, 0.01 mol / L CuCl2 solution and 0.01 mol / L NH3·H2O solution (NH4OH solution) using distilled water. Add 10 mL of 0.01 mol / L NH4OH solution, 24.6 mL of 0.0048 mol / L Na2S2O3 solution, 0.5 mL of 0.01 mol / L CuCl2 solution, and 4.9 mL of 0.1 mol / L K2S2O8 solution sequentially to a 50 mL beaker to ensure that the concentrations of each component in the "K2S2O8-Na2S2O3-CuCl2-NH4OH" pH clock system are 0.0025 mol / L NH4OH, 0.002952 mol / L Na2S2O3, 0.000125 mol / L CuCl2, and 0.01225 mol / L K2S2O8, for a total volume of 40 mL. The temperature is controlled at 25 ℃.
[0030] Meanwhile, using ethanol as a solvent, a series of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone sample solutions of different concentrations were prepared.
[0031] (2) Obtain pH clock spectrum The pH value of the prepared test solution over time was plotted by a computer equipped with a chemical signal acquisition and analysis program (without the test sample added). For example... Figure 1As shown, a pH induction time of 135 s was used as a blank control. Two additional test solutions with the same component concentrations as the above-mentioned test solutions were prepared. For one of these solutions, at the start of the reaction, 100 μL of 0.1 mol / L 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone sample solution was added to a 40 mL pH clock system, resulting in a 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ concentration of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone in the test solution. -4 The addition of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone at a concentration of mol / L prolonged the induction time to 164 s.
