Abstract

The azocoupling reaction of diazonium salts of o- and m-aminophenylarsonic acids with phenol was studied. On the basis of quantum-chemical calculations of the reagents, conformation analysis of resulting azo compounds, and experimental data, it was found that the meta isomer of aminophenylarsonic acid is of practical interest as an analytical reagent for the determination of phenol. The advantage of the proposed reagent is a high stability of the diazonium salt. A procedure was developed for the spectrophotometric determination of phenol in water at a level of 0.06 μg/mL. The error in the determination is no higher than 5.5%.
