General description

Pentafluorobenzyl bromide (PFB-Br) is a derivatization reagent. Excess reagent may be removed by reaction with an aminophenol. It is an alkylation reagent suitable for electron capture detector (ECD) detection. It is also a lachrymator.

Application

It is used for the analysis of D2/E2-isoprostanes using negative ion chemical ionization-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (NICI-GC/MS). Fatty acids may be converted to pentafluorobenzyl esters using PFG-Br and diisopropylethylamine during determination of fatty acids using NICI-GC/MS.

Other Notes

Reagent for pentafluorobenzyl ester.

We recently reported the discovery that a series of novel prostaglandin (PG)F2-like compounds (F2-isoprostanes) are produced in vivo independent of the cyclooxygenase as products of free radical-catalyzed lipid peroxidation. F2-isoprostanes are initially formed in situ from arachidonic acid esterified to
