Abstract:
... Due to the different physico-chemical properties of phenols, the development of a methodology for the simultaneous extraction and determination of phenolic compounds belonging to several families, such as chlorophenols (CPs), alkylphenols (APs), nitrophenols (NTPs) and cresols is difficult. This study shows the development and validation of a method for the analysis of 13 phenolic compounds (inclu ...
... Zofenoprilat is an active metabolite of zofenopril, which is very unstable in plasma because of oxidative degradation of its thiol group. In this method, p-bromophenacyl bromide was used as derivatization reagent, immediately after plasma separation, to react with the free thiol group of zofenoprilat and form the derivative zofenoprilat-p-BPB. After acidification with 50% acetic acid, the derivati ...
... This study explores the use of pH stacking in conjunction with 5-aminofluorescein as a derivatization agent for the sensitive analysis of simple sugars such as glucose, lactose and maltotriose by capillary electrophoresis (CE). The derivatization agent was selected on the basis of its extremely high molar absorptivity, its compatibility with a 488nm light-emitting diode (LED) and the fact that it ...

Abstract:
... The carbamate pesticides are a well known thermo-sensible compound class. Under unfavourable conditions, these compounds are highly prone to degradation via fragmentation and/or rearrangement mechanisms. Their transformation processes are observed in consequence of two factors: structure with fragile bonds on the one hand and a stressing environment on the other hand leading to a difficult direct ...
... A method for the determination of fatty alcohol ethoxylates (FAEs) using diphenic anhydride as derivatization reagent and RP-HPLC separation with UV-vis detection is presented and compared to derivatization with maleic, phthalic, and other cyclic anhydrides. With these anhydrides, the reaction rates increased when urea was added to the reaction medium, and the yields did not decrease when the samp ...
... Migration of bisphenol-A (BPA), the principal monomer of polycarbonate (PC) baby bottles, was investigated using an aqueous migration simulant. BPA was determined in 200 mL water samples using stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) after in situ derivatization with acetic acid anhydride followed by thermal desorption (TD)-capillary GC-MS. The concentration of BPA was calculated using the deuterated i ...

Abstract:
... A method has been developed for quantification of 20 amino acids as well as 13 ¹⁵N-labeled amino acids in barley plants. The amino acids were extracted from plant tissues using aqueous HCl–ethanol and directly analyzed without further purification. Analysis of the underivatized amino acids was performed by liquid chromatography (LC)–electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) in ...
... The esterification of fatty alcohol ethoxylates (FAEs) by melting with maleic anhydride has been studied in the presence of urea. The reaction rate and yield of non-ethoxylated and ethoxylated alcohols increase largely when grinded urea is suspended in the reaction medium, a 100% yield being achieved at 80°C in 15min. The procedure is tolerant to the presence of large amounts of water. The UV-vis ...
... The esterification of fatty alcohol ethoxylates (FAEs) with phthalic anhydride in 1,4-dioxane was studied. At 110°C and in the presence of urea, which increased the reaction rate, esterification was completed in 60min. The reaction yield did not decrease when the sample contained up to 50% water. For the non-ethoxylated alcohols, the UV-vis response factors of the derivatives were not significantl ...
