“…The pioneer investigations of these workers were followed by intensive theoretical and applied studies of others and as a result nonaqueous titrimetry with perchloric acid has become a widely accepted method for assaying many classes of chemical substances. Strong and wreak organic bases (1, 8, 9, 14, 19, 21, 81), amino alcohols (19), alkylene oxides (8), amino acids and polypeptides (1,11,20, SO), oxazolines (19), tertiary aliphatic and aromatic amines in the presence of primary and secondary amines (1, 8, 12, 82), basic nitrogen compounds in refined aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons (83) and in hydrogenated coal oils (34), sulfonamides (81), antihistamines (18), vitamins and related compounds (17,22,24), salts of amines, basic heterocyclic nitrogen and quaternary ammonium compounds (1,8,22), alkali metal salts (15, 16, 21, 23), and salts of organic and inorganic acids (2, 3, 19, 21,23,31) have all been determined by titration with perchloric acid in nonaqueous systems.…”
