Application

Pentafluoropropionic anhydride was used:
  • in preparation of halogenated derivatives of phenolic acids, required for determination of some biologically important acids in cerebrospinal fluid
  • as derivatization reagent in detection of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline as endogenous amines from non-treated rat brain by GC-multiple ion detection
  • in simultaneous determination of the major metabolites of dopamine in rat striatum by gas-liquid chromatography

This is the first report to identify 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline as endogenous amines from non-treated rat brain. The detection was performed by coupled gas chromatography - multiple ion detection, using heptafluorobutyric anhydride and pentafluoropropionic anhydride as derivatizing reagents. These amines

A new analytical method that combines on-line derivatization-extraction and gas-liquid chromatography for the determination of N-methylcarbamates is reported. The hydrolysis products of N-methylcarbamates (phenols) are derivatized and extracted in a continuous fashion using pentafluoropropionic anhydride (derivatizing reagent) in n-hexane as
