Serial separation techniques (e.g., extraction, chromatography), with the bioassay as detector are used to demonstrate that the response is due only to the analyte in question.

The application of extraction chromatography with HD(DiBM)P to the purification of 2l+3Am of the end of treatment makes the process more consistent, eliminates the delicate stages implemented in hot cell, and considerably improves final product quality. 

Under these premises, methods like the extraction chromatography with a high separation power should he favoured over those with a high separation capacity like the extraction. 

For separations based on the application of solvent extraction/extraction chromatography with acidic extractants (like HDEHP), trends in and j8, work in opposition. Aqueous complexants are therefore of limited utility for separation systems in this combination or reagents. For separations based on cation exchange (either using Dowex 50-type resins or dynamic ion exchange resins), the ratio A /Aj, increases from Lu to La, i.e. >K >K - which is opposite the trend in aqueous complex stability. 

Potassium hydride (1 eq.) was washed with hexanes and suspended in anhydrous ether at 0°C. 7-Bromoindole was added as a solution in ether. After 15 min, the solution was cooled to — 78°C and t-butyllithium (2 eq.) which had been precooled to — 78°C was added by cannula. A white precipitate formed. After 10 min DMF (2 eq.) was added as a solution in ether. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm slowly to room temperature and when reaction was complete (TLC) the suspension was poured into cold 1 M H3PO4. The product was extracted with EtOAc and the extract washed with sat. NaHCOj and dried (MgS04). The product was obtained by evaporation of the solvent and purified by chromatography on silica gel (61% yield). 

I2O5 (400 mg 1.20 mmol) was added to a solution of a cycloalka[b]indole (l.OOmmol) in 80% aqueous THF (25 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was extracted into EtOAc and the extract washed with water, 5% NaS203, saturated NaHCOj and brine and dried over Na2S04. The solvent was evaporated and the residue purified by silica gel chromatography. 

Analytical Techniques. Sorbic acid and potassium sorbate are assayed titrimetricaHy (51). The quantitative analysis of sorbic acid in food or beverages, which may require solvent extraction or steam distillation (52,53), employs various techniques. The two classical methods are both spectrophotometric (54—56). In the ultraviolet method, the prepared sample is acidified and the sorbic acid is measured at 250 260 nm. In the colorimetric method, the sorbic acid in the prepared sample is oxidized and then reacts with thiobarbituric acid the complex is measured at - 530 nm. Chromatographic techniques are also used for the analysis of sorbic acid. High pressure Hquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection is used to separate and quantify sorbic acid from other ultraviolet-absorbing species (57—59). Sorbic acid in food extracts is deterrnined by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (60—62). 

Trihalomethanes. Wherever chlorine is used as a disinfectant in drinking-water treatment, trihalomethanes (THMs) generaUy are present in the finished water. The THMs usuaUy formed are trichloromethane (chloroform), bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane, and tribromomethane (bromoform). There are four main techniques for the analysis of THMs headspace, Hquid— Hquid extraction (Ue), adsorption—elution (purge—trap), and direct aqueous injection. The final step in each technique involves separation by gas—Hquid chromatography with a 2 mm ID coUed glass column containing 10 wt % squalene on chromosorb-W-AW (149—177 p.m (80—100 mesh)) with detection generaUy by electron capture. 

The influence of soil ageing on the recovery of POPs from spiked soil samples was also assessed. Spiked lettuce samples were subjected to in vitro gastrointestinal extraction to assess the bioavailability of Endosulfan compounds. All samples (soil and lettuce) were extracted using pressurised fluid extraction and analysed using gas chromatography with mass selective detection. 

Microwave extraction realized at 120 °C for 30 min with Hexane -Acetone (3 2 V/V) as the extraction solvent was identified as the most effective extraction procedure for isolation of TPH from biotic matrices. The aim of this research is to develop a silica gel and alumina fractionation procedure for plant sample extraction. Column chromatography with two solvents (chloroform and hexane dichloromethane) as a mobile phase were used for clean-up of extract. In this research the efficiency of recovery received from chloroform as a mobile phase. 

Interaction of formaldehyde with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine in acid media causes 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (DNPhydrazone) formaldehyde formation. Gas-chromatographic analysis of 2,4-DNP-hydrazone formaldehyde toluene extract with an electron holding detector makes it possible to detect it at the level of 0,001 mg/dm. Phenol is detected in the form of tribromphenol yield, the hexane extract of which undergoes chromatography with an electron holding detector which provides the level of phenol detection of 0.001 mg/dm (the limit of quantitative detection). 

Epichlorhydrin (ECH) detection starts with detecting epoxide cycle using hydrochloric acid in combination with sodium chloride the reaction product - 1,3-dichlorhydrin - is extracted in diethyl ether and concentrated by removing the latter. Gas-liquid chromatography with a flame-ionization detector is used to detect glycerin 1,3-dichlorhydrin. The sensitivity of the method is 0.01 mg/dm. ...

One example of normal-phase liquid chromatography coupled to gas chromatography is the determination of alkylated, oxygenated and nitrated polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in urban air particulate extracts (97). Since such extracts are very complex, LC-GC is the best possible separation technique. A quartz microfibre filter retains the particulate material and supercritical fluid extraction (SPE) with CO2 and a toluene modifier extracts the organic components from the dust particles. The final extract is then dissolved in -hexane and analysed by NPLC. The transfer at 100 p.1 min of different fractions to the GC system by an on-column interface enabled many PACs to be detected by an ion-trap detector. A flame ionization detector (PID) and a 350 p.1 loop interface was used to quantify the identified compounds. The experimental conditions employed are shown in Table 13.2. 

The coupling of supercritical fluid extraction (SEE) with gas chromatography (SEE-GC) provides an excellent example of the application of multidimensional chromatography principles to a sample preparation method. In SEE, the analytical matrix is packed into an extraction vessel and a supercritical fluid, usually carbon dioxide, is passed through it. The analyte matrix may be viewed as the stationary phase, while the supercritical fluid can be viewed as the mobile phase. In order to obtain an effective extraction, the solubility of the analyte in the supercritical fluid mobile phase must be considered, along with its affinity to the matrix stationary phase. The effluent from the extraction is then collected and transferred to a gas chromatograph. In his comprehensive text, Taylor provides an excellent description of the principles and applications of SEE (44), while Pawliszyn presents a description of the supercritical fluid as the mobile phase in his development of a kinetic model for the extraction process (45). 

Flash chromatography is widely employed for the purification of crude products obtained by synthesis at a research laboratory scale (several grams) or isolated as extracts from natural products or fermentations. The solid support is based on silica gel, and the mobile phase is usually a mixture of a hydrocarbon, such as hexane or heptane, with an organic modifier, e.g. ethyl acetate, driven by low pressure air. (Recently the comparison of flash chromatography with countercurrent chromatography (CCC), a technique particularly adapted to preparative purposes, has been studied for the separation of nonchiral compounds [90].)...
