Synthesis of a phenylaminourea and its recognition of iron ions.
Benzaldehyde and aminourea
hydrochloride were used as raw materials, and a carbon-based
solid acid was used as a catalyst to synthesize phenylaminourea by
grinding in a specific
molar ratio. First, A mol of
benzaldehyde and C mol of carbon-based
solid acid (p-toluenesulfonic acid) were ground in a
mortar. Then, B mol of aminourea
hydrochloride was added, and
grinding continued until the reaction was complete. The reaction progress was monitored by TLC during
grinding. The ratio of A:B:C was (1~1.3):1:(0.05~0.2). After the reaction was complete, a small amount of
methanol was added to the reaction vessel, and the catalyst was removed by
filtration. The filtrate was then distilled under reduced pressure to obtain phenylaminourea. The catalyst was recovered and could be reused up to 5 times. The synthesized probe was prepared into a
test solution using a
solvent. Different cations were added to the
test solution, and the changes in
absorbance of the compound were observed by UV-Vis
absorption spectroscopy to identify iron ions. 3+ Selective detection is performed; and the probe is effective against Fe. 3+ The detection is quite sensitive and has strong anti-interference capabilities.
