Assay—
Dissolve about 700 mg of Bromodiphenhydramine Hydrochloride, accurately weighed, in 50 mL of glacial acetic acid, and add 10 mL of benzene and 15 mL of mercuric acetate TS. Add 2 drops of crystal violet TS, and titrate with 0.1 N perchloric acid VS to a green endpoint. Perform a blank determination, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N perchloric acid is equivalent to 37.07 mg of C17H20BrNO·HCl.
