In this research, a rapid, simple and accurate spectrophotometric approach was described for the estimation of phenylephrine hydrochloride in pure its drug forms. The suggested method based on oxidative coupling reaction with p-aminobenzophenone using potassium periodate as an oxidant. A taupe-red dye formed at room temperature showed maximum absorption 512 nm. linearity standard calibration cu...
