White microstrip yellow-green needle-like crystal or crystalline powder, with spun silk luster, odorless, bitter taste. Highly soluble in pyrrole and tetrahydrofuran containing 4% water, soluble in ethyl acetate, slightly soluble in petroleum ether.
cyanoacetic acid was obtained by neutralization, cyanidation and acidification of chloroacetic acid, followed by condensation with urea to obtain cyanoacetourea, followed by acidification, nitrosation, reduction, acylation and methylation to obtain caffeine. Can also be extracted from tea, coffee beans, cocoa.
This product is 1,3, 7-trimethyl-3, 7-dihydro-1h-purine-2, 6-dione monohydrate or an anhydrous thereof. Calculated as dry product, containing no less than 98.5% of C8H10N4O2.
The melting point of this product (General rule 0612 first method) is 235~238 ℃.
has the effect of stimulating the central nervous system, such as refreshing the brain. China's provisions can be used for cola-type beverages, the maximum amount of 0. 15 g/kg.
take l.Og of this product, add 50ml of water, heat and boil, let cool, and the solution should be clarified.
take this product, add three gas methane-methanol (3:2) dissolved into a solution containing about 20mg per 1 ml, as a test solution; Take appropriate amount of precision, add the above solvent quantitative dilution to each 1 ml containing about 0.10 mg solution, as a control solution. According to the thin layer chromatography (General 0502) test, absorb 10ul of each of the above two solutions, respectively point on the same silica gel GF254 thin layer plate, with n-butanol-acetone-chloroform-concentrated ammonia solution (40:30:30:10) for developing solvent, expand, dry, and view under UV light (254nm). Test solution such as impurity spots, compared with the control solution of the main spot, not deeper.
take this product, dry at 105°C for 2 hours, lose no more than 8.5% weight; If it is anhydrous caffeine, dry at 105°C for 1 hour, weight loss shall not exceed 0.5% (General rule 0831).
not more than 0.1% (General rule 0841).
take 0.5g of this product, add 20ml of water, heat and dissolve it, let it cool, add 2ml of acetate buffer (pH3.5) and an appropriate amount of water to 25ml (filter if necessary), inspection according to law (General Principles 0821, Law 1), containing heavy metals shall not exceed 10 parts per million.
take about 0.15g of this product, precision weighing, add 25ml of acetic anhydride-glacial acetic acid (5:1) mixture, dissolve at a slight temperature, cool, add 1 drop of crystal violet indicator solution, with perchloric acid titration solution (0.1 mol/L) titration to the solution yellow, and the results of the titration with blank test correction. Each 1 ml of perchloric acid titration solution (0.1 mol/L) corresponds to 19.42mg of C8H10N4O2.
