I am looking for a reductant to "kill"/quench my hydrogen peroxide in ethyl acetate, without destroying a quinone in my sample.
Sodium Thiosulphate is to powerful, and reduces the quinone to hydroquinone very easily.
I have thought of Sodium Sulphite, but I need to order it, and there is no time.
Catalase is a protein that is produced commercially, very effective but only works in water solution.
I was thinking of Sodium Nitrite, would that work?
Or maybe a iron compound?
Have you any suggestions?
