Application

Reinecke salt can be used as a precipitation reagent for the precipitation of basic compounds such as amines, amino acids, and alkaloids as their reineckate complexes. It is also used in the spectrophotometric determination of promazine along with alizarin S by the formation of the promazine ion-association complex.

Three accurate, rapid and simple atomic absorption spectrometric, conductometric and colorimetric methods were developed for the determination of norfloxacin (NRF), ciprofloxacin (CIP), ofloxacin (OFL) and enrofloxacin (ENF). The proposed methods depend upon the reaction of ammonium reineckate with the studied
