title: Simultaneous determination of water and enediols or thiols in chemical products and drugs not amenable to direct Karl Fischer titration.
abstract: A method proposed for determining water and enediols or thiols is based on consecutive titration of the enediols or thiols by a novel reagent and of water by the conventional Karl Fischer reagent in the same cell. The time for both titrations is 8-20 min. The novel reagent consists of iodine, sodium acetate as a base, and potassium iodide in a nonaqueous solvent system. The method is applicable for quality control of chemical products and drugs during their production and trade.
