title: Analysis of the 1,4-benzodiazepines by methods based on hydrolysis.
abstract: The analytical applications of the hydrolysis of 1,4-benzodiazepines to the corresponding benzophenone derivatives are reviewed according to the analytical methods used for their final determination. The scope and limitations of the individual methods for the hydrolysis products are discussed: Colour reactions, photometry, fluorimetry, thin-layer chromatography, gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. Published data on the kinetic parameters and mechanisms are summarized in an attempt to explain the problems involved in exploiting this reaction for analytical applications.
