A spectrophotometric method is described for the quantitative determination of ampicillin sodium [sodium salt of 6‐(d(–)‐phenylacetamido) penicillanic acid]. The method involves acetylation of ampicillin with acetic anhydride in aqueous solution at pH 9 to yield α‐acetamido benzylpenicillin and subsequent measurement at 325 nm of α‐acetamidobenzylpenicillenic acid mercuric mercaptide, formed in a quantitative yield on heating for 30 min at 60° in a 1·0m imidazole and 8 times 10−4m mercuric chloride solution at pH 6·8. It has been demonstrated that degradation products do not interfere in the method whereas those di‐ and polymerization products of ampicillin which contain an intact β‐lactam ring are capable of reacting with imidazole with the formation of penicillenic acid. A technique involving acid‐catalysed opening of the β‐lactam ring of these products under conditions where ampicillin is degraded to only a minor extent has been developed, and besides permitting a selective determination of ampicillin the technique permits the determination of the polymeric substances.
