Tromethamine
1,3-Propanediol, 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-. 2-Amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol [77-86-1]. » Tromethamine contains not less than 99.0 percent and not more than 101.0 percent of C4H11NO3, calculated on the dried basis.
Packaging and storage
Preserve in tight containers.
Identification
B:
To 4.5 mL of a saturated solution of salicylaldehyde add 0.5 mL of glacial acetic acid, and mix. Add 4.0 mL of a solution of Tromethamine (1 in 5), and mix: a yellow color is produced.
C:
To 0.5 mL of a 4 in 10 solution of ceric ammonium nitrate in 2 N nitric acid add 3 mL of water and 0.5 mL of a solution of Tromethamine (1 in 5), and mix: the color changes from light yellow to orange.
Melting range 741:
between 168 and 172.
pH 791:
between 10.0 and 11.5, in a solution (1 in 20).
Loss on drying 731
Dry it at 105 for 3 hours: it loses not more than 1.0% of its weight.
Residue on ignition 281:
not more than 0.1%.
Heavy metals, Method II 231:
0.001%.
Assay
Dissolve about 250 mg of Tromethamine, accurately weighed, in 100 mL of water, add bromocresol purple TS, and titrate with 0.1 N hydrochloric acid VS to a yellow endpoint. Each mL of 0.1 N hydrochloric acid is equivalent to 12.11 mg of C4H11NO3.
