Analytical aspects

Gas-liquid chromatography, using a mass spectrometer as a detector, has been used for the quantitative detection of cocaine hydrochloride in powders.69 The procedure has a relative deviation of 2.3% and is applicable to samples that contain a wide variety of diluents and adulterants. 

Methods for detecting cocaine and its metabolites in biological material have been reviewed.70 N.m.r. and i.r. spectroscopies, electron-impact mass spectroscopy, 

A quantitative gas-chromatographic-mass-spectrometric assay has been developed for the determination of the anti-Parkinsonian drug benztropine in human urine and plasma.72

A new method for the rapid separation of alkaloids, inter alia atropine, has been elaborated, using chromatography on paper that is impregnated with zirconium oxide.57 Cation-exchange h.p.l.c. analysis of tropane alkaloids has been developed,58 followed by post-column derivatization using the fluorimetric ion-pair technique.58,59 Gas chromatography of tropanes has been reviewed.60 

Proton61 and carbon-1362 n.m.r. spectroscopy have recently been used extensively for the analysis of tropane alkaloids. The non-equivalence of H-6 and H-7 on the one hand and of H-2 and H-4 on the other in atropine and scopolamine is due to the non-symmetrical shielding by the tropic acid moiety. The configuration of A-substituents, e.g. N-oxides, has been determined by studying the deshielding of the 6- and 7/3-hydrogens. All of these results should be useful for the identification of new tropane alkaloids and other related systems in the future.

The technique of gas chromatography linked to mass spectrometry is an important tool in the study of volatile insect substances and also for the study of their biosynthesis. The subject of linked chromatographic-mass spectrometric methods, and the newer techniques that can be achieved with mass spectrometry are beyond the subject of this book. We can expect to see much wider use of high resolution mass spectrometry in the study of enzymes and biosynthetic pathways. 

The position of methyl branches in mono-methylalkanes can also be deduced from mass spectra. As one progresses to more methyl groups per molecule, interpretation becomes more difficult. For a detailed consideration of methylalkane identification see Carlson, Bernier and Sutton, Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1998, 24, 1845. 

Chirality of molecules is an important aspect of their structure in all fields, no less among insect substances. Many pheromones and hormones are chiral, and the behavioural response they produce may vary greatly with the chiral form. For example, the unnatural enantiomer of a pheromone can inhibit completely the response to the natural enantiomer, the natural pheromone may be a blend of unequal proportions of

In this section we shall consider three types of isomerism which are encountered in polymers. These are positional isomerism, stereo isomerism, and geometrical isomerism. We shall focus attention on synthetic polymers and shall, for the most part, be concerned with these types of isomerism occurring singly, rather than in combination. The synthetic and analytical aspects of stereo isomerism will be considered in Chap. 7. Our present concern is merely to introduce the possibilities of these isomers and some of the vocabulary associated with them.

Metal complexes of ligands containing a sulfur donor in conjunction with nitrogen, oxygen or a second sulfur have been reviewed in the past [11-13]. For example, reviews of the coordination compounds of dithiophosphates [14], dithiocarbamates [15, 16], dithiolates [17], dithiodiketonates [18], and xanthates [16] have appeared. The analytical aspects [19] and the spectral and structural information of transition metal complexes of thiosemicarbazones [20, 21] have been reviewed previously. Recent developments in the structural nature of metal complexes of 2-heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones and S-alkyldithiocarbazates, depicted below, are correlated to their biological activities.

The most important experimental task in structural chemistry is the structure determination. It is mainly performed by X-ray diffraction from single crystals further methods include X-ray diffraction from crystalline powders and neutron diffraction from single crystals and powders. Structure determination is the analytical aspect of structural chemistry the usual result is a static model. The elucidation of the spatial rearrangements of atoms during a chemical reaction is much less accessible experimentally. Reaction mechanisms deal with this aspect of structural chemistry in the chemistry of molecules. Topotaxy is concerned with chemical processes in solids, in which structural relations exist between the orientation of educts and products. Neither dynamic aspects of this kind are subjects of this book, nor the experimental methods for the preparation of solids, to grow crystals or to determine structures. 

For detailed description and discussion of methods of separation and characterization of GAG, the reader is referred to specific mono-graphs38-42-46-47 dealing with the advantages and drawbacks of different colorimetric, titrimetric, electrophoretic, chromatographic, spectroscopic, and enzymic methods for the qualitative and quantitative characterization of heparin and its most common contaminants. The present article is concerned only with analytical aspects of relevance to the structural characterization of heparin. 

Analytical chemistry is a critical component of worker safety, re-entry, and other related studies intended to assess the risk to humans during and subsequent to pesticide applications. The analytical aspect takes on added significance when such studies are intended for submission to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and/or other regulatory authorities and are thus required to be conducted according to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Standards, or their equivalent. This presentation will address test, control, and reference substance characterization, use-dilution (tank mix) verification, and specimen (exposure matrix sample) analyses from the perspective of GLP Standards requirements. 

Hassan et al [65] used a method for the determination of primaquine and other antimalarials, through ternary complex formation. The analytical aspects of the reaction between the widely used antimalarial drugs with cobalt and thiocyanate to form ternary complexes are described. Alternatively, determination of the cobalt content of the nitrobenzene extract using atomic absorption spectroscopy provided an indirect method for the determination of the drugs. Both methods are applied to the analysis of pharmaceutical preparation and the results obtained agreed well with those obtained with official methods. 

As mentioned earlier, reversed micelles have different properties from normal micelles. These properties have the potential to favorably affect the sensitivity and other analytical aspects of CL reactions. Thus, reversed micelles have been used to prolong the duration of the observed CL of various oxalate ester (or acid)-hydrogen peroxide-sensitizer reaction systems for application as chemical light sources [62],...
