Pastes aluminum acetate

Fig. 10. Measurement of norepinephrine and epinephrine in human plasma. Explanation of traces from left to right. A (1) Norepinephrine standard (10 pmol injected) (2) epinephrine standard (10 pmol injected) (3) dopamine standard (10 pmol injected). B (1) Plasma (1.1 ml) collected during a normoglycemic baseline period. Dopamine (10 pmol) added as internal standard prior to aluminum oxide adsorption. Sensitivity changes from 100 nA to 1 nA full scale deflection immediately after elution of the solvent front. Note the small norepinephrine (0.57 nmol/liter) and epinephrine (0.74 nmol/liter) peaks (2) plasma (1.1 ml) from the same subject, insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Note the marked increase in the epinephrine (5.16 nmol/liter) peak and the small rise in norepinephrine (0.75 nmol/liter). Dopamine (10 pmol) added as internal standard. Chromatographic conditions column, Nucleosil (10 [x), 30 cm X 2.1 mm mobile phase, acetate/citrate, 0.1 M, pH 5.2 flow rate, 1.2 ml/min electrode potential, +0.65 V (carbon paste) volume injected, 100 xl plasma extraction, alumina adsorption (Fig. 8).

In the past, retinyl acetate has been prepared from labeled retinoic acid by the following procedure. Esterification of crystallized al -trans-Tciinoic acid with diazomethane and subsequent reduction of the methyl all-fraw -retinoate with lithium aluminum hydride at low temperature yielded M-trans-rctinol, which was acetylated in situ with acetyl chloride and pyridine in ether to give M-trans-retinyl acetate.
