- 1. A process for measuring the presence or appearance of thiols in an aqueous system, the process comprising:
- contacting said aqueous system with a chromogenic thiol-indicating benzoisothiazolone derivative having the structure: ##STR29## wherein at least one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is nitro, arylazo, 4-hydroxyphenylazo; 4-nitro-2-methylphenylazo; 2-hydroxy-1-naphthylazo; 2-hydroxy-5-methylphenylazo; 2-hydroxy-4-methyl-5-nitrophenylazo; 4-hydroxy-1-naphthylazo; 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-naphthylazo; 4-hydroxy-5-aza-1-naphthylazo; 2-amino-1-naphthyl-azo; 1-hydroxy-2-naphthylazo; 3-N,N-dimethylaminopropylcarboxyamido-1-hydroxy-4-naphthylazo; 1-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-naphthylazo; 2-hydroxy-3-carboxy-1-naphthylazo; 1-hydroxy-3,6-disulfonate-2-naphthylazo; 2,3-dihydroxy-1-naphthylazo; 2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-1-phenylazo; benzylideneamino or 2,4-dinitro-benzylideneamino and one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is hydrogen;
- R.sup.3 is alkyl; carboxyalkyl; hydroxyalkyl; aminoalkyl; haloalkyl; aryl; carboxyaryl; hydroxyaryl; aminoaryl; a heterocyclic radical selected from the group consisting of pyridyl, oxazolyl, quinolyl and thiazolyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by carboxy, hydroxy, or amino; hydroxy; alkoxy; or amino; and
- observing chromophoric changes due to thiol-mediated reduction of the benzoisothiazolone derivative, said changes being proportional to the amount or rate of appearance of thiols in the aqueous system.
