Identification of N-methylaniline based on azo coupling reaction by combining TLC with SERRS
Abstract:
The objective of this study was to establish a novel method for the determination of N-methylaniline (NMA) based on azo coupling reaction in infant pacifiers prepared with food contact silicone materials by combining thin layer chromatography (TLC) with surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS). TLC was used to separate the azo reaction products to confirm the component spot of azo compound, then the spot of azo compound mixed with silver sol on the TLC plate was qualitatively detected by SERRS. The limit of detection (LOD) of the method is as low as 0.50 ppm for NMA. The influence of sample matrix about the TLC-SERRS detection of NMA was investigated by experiment of simulated positive sample, and the NMA in infant pacifiers exposed to silica gel products was detected. The method of TLC-SERRS for the determination of NMA in infant pacifiers prepared with food contact silicone materials was established, and the real samples were detected. Compared with the methods ever reported, the method has the advantages of high sensitivity, specificity and low cost. It provides a new reference method for establishing a safety system for food contact silicone materials.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
