Identification
A:
Infrared Absorption á197Kñ.
B:
Dissolve about 250mg in 5mLof water in a test tube,cool in an ice bath,add 5mLof trinitrophenol TS,and scratch the inner surface of the tube with a glass rod to induce crystallization.Collect the precipitate on a filter,wash with cold water,and dry at 105

for 1hour:the picrate so obtained melts between 184

and 189

,when tested by the method for
Class I(see
Melting Range or Temperature á741ñ).
[CautionPicrates may explode.
]
C:
To a solution of 100mg in 2mLof water add a few drops of 2Nnitric acid and 1mLof silver nitrate TS:a yellowish white precipitate is formed.
Related compounds
Adsorbent:
0.25-mm layer of chromatographic silica gel mixture.
Developing solvent system:
a mixture of acetone,methanol,water,and hydrochloric acid (70:20:5:5).
Chromatographic plates
Predevelop suitable thin-layer chromatographic plates (see
Thin-Layer Chromatographyunder
Chromatography á621ñ)by placing in a chromatographic chamber saturated with
Developing solvent system,and allow the
Developing solvent systemto move about 15cm.Remove the plates from the chamber,dry at 105

for 15minutes,and cool.
Test solution
Dissolve 100mg of Clidinium Bromide in 1.0mLof 0.1Nmethanolic hydrochloric acid.
Application volume:
20µL.
Spray reagent
Dissolve 850mg of bismuth subnitrate in a mixture of 10mLof glacial acetic acid and 40mLof water.In a separate container,dissolve 20g of potassium iodide in 50mLof water.Mix the two solutions,and dilute with dilute sulfuric acid (1in 10)to 500mL.Add 7.5±2.5g of iodine,and mix until solution is complete.
Procedure 1(3-quinuclidinyl benzilate)
Apply the
Standard solution,
Reference solution 1,and the
Test solution,as directed in the chapter.Place the plate in an unsaturated chromatographic chamber containing freshly prepared
Developing solvent system,and allow the solvent front to move 10cm.Remove the plate,dry at 105

for 10minutes,cool,and spray with potassium iodoplatinate TS:the
RFvalue of the principal spot obtained from the
Test solutioncorresponds to that obtained from the
Standard solution,and the
Test solutionshows no spot at an
RFvalue (about 0.8)corresponding to that of 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate.
Procedure 2(limit of clidinium bromide related compound A)
Apply
Reference solution 2and the
Test solutionto a second
Chromatographic plateas directed in the chapter.Place the plate in an unsaturated chromatographic chamber containing freshly prepared
Developing solvent system,and allow the solvent front to move 15cm.Remove the plate,dry at 105

for 10minutes,cool,and spray with
Spray reagent.Any spot in the chromatogram obtained from the
Test solutionat an
RFvalue of about 0.4is not greater in size or intensity than the minor spot obtained from
Reference solution 2:not more than 0.5%of clidinium bromide related compound Ais found.
