Abstract
The significance of hydrolysis as a dissipation mechanism for 3-chloro-p-toluidine hydrochloride was studied in aqueous solutions buffered at pH 5, 7, and 9. High performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection was used to assess the stability of the compound in the sample solutions at several intervals over 31 days. Experiments were conducted with polytetrafluoroethylene sample containers to circumvent adsorption of the free base (3-chloro-p-toluidine) on borosilicate glass. The results indicated that 3-chloro-p-toluidine hydrochloride does not significantly hydrolyze in pH 5, 7, or 9 buffer solutions at 25 o C over 31 days
