    Abstract: In aqueous alkaline medium, the kinetics of oxidation of methylaminopyrazole formamidine (MAPF) by hexacyanoferrate(III) (HCF)has been studied spectrophotometrically under the conditions, MAPF >> HCF at a constant ionic strength of 0.1 mol dm-3 and at 25°C. The reaction showed first order dependence on [HCF] while it exhibited fractional-first orde... Show More

    Abstract: The synthesis of non-linear diaza and tetraaza dichlorophenothiazine derivatives is reported in this article. This was achieved through the thiocyanation of 2,6-diamino-4-chloropyrimidine using potassium thiocyanate, bromine and glacial acetic acid at –5°C to give 2,6-diamino-3-thiocynatopyrimidine, which was hydrolyzed using 20% sodium hydroxide t...
