title: Synthesis and evaluation of some pyridyl-substituted pyrimidines as copper-specific chromogenic reagents.
abstract: Preparation and metal-ion chromogenic properties of five new 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyrimidines containing pyridyl and methyl or phenyl groups are described. All five exhibit specific chromogenic reactions with copper(I), and two possess suitable characteristics for use as sensitive spectrophotometric copper reagents. The results obtained are also of interest in designing related chromogenic reagents.
