The pentacyano-iron complex salts, such as sodium nitroprusside, sodium pentacyano-amminferroate and sodium pentacyanoaquoferroate, react with aromatic primary amines and some R-NH-CS-NH-R′ type compounds, such as aromatic thiosemicarbazones, thiocarbanilides, and p-ethoxyphenylthioureas, in caustic soda solutions, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, to give green coloration. The procedure is as follows: To a very small amount of the sample are added 5 drops of 2.5% solution of sodium nitroprusside, 1% solution of sodium pentacyanoamminferroate or 1% solution of sodium pentacyanoaquoferroate, 2 drops of 35% hydrogen peroxide, and 3 drops of 1N sodium hydroxide, and the mixture is heated in a boiling water bath.
Green coloration is also developed by reacting sodium nitroprusside and sodium azide, in the phosphoric acidity, to aromatic primary amines and R-NH-CS-NH-R′ type compounds, and rendering the mixture alkaline with sodium hydroxide. This method can also be used to estimate qualitatively the aromatic primary amines and some compounds of R-NH-CS-NH-R′ type.
