Synthesis and characterization of acetone azine in the lab scale

Mixtures of azines can be synthesized by reaction of ketone with hydrogen peroxide depending on the ketone to hydrogen peroxide ratio. In this research work, acetone azine was synthesized by oxidation of aqueous ammonia with hydrogen peroxide (as an oxidizing agent) in the presence of acetonitrile (as an oxygen transfer agent) and acetone in demineral water – alcohol medium. This compound was characterized by 1 H, 13 C NMR and IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The yield of acetone azine is dependent upon the following factors: (a) ratio of hydrogen peroxide reacted (b) presence of in the medium of reaction, (c) presence of disodium salt water-alcohol of ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (trilon B) as a stabilizer in order to lowering of the speed of decomposition H2O2. So, the mass percent of acetone azine was investigated by iodine method and Gas chromatography and its amount was 70% based on hydrogen peroxide used. Besides, iodine method was succcessfully applied to the simultaneous determination of acetone azine and hydrogen peroxide in the medium of reaction. Because of the wide uses of azines in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, blowing agents in industry and also as intermediates for the synthesis of hydrazine and other fields, this research work was selected
