General description

(+)-O,O′-Diacetyl-L-tartaric anhydride is an HPLC derivatization reagent for UV/Vis detection. It is mainly employed as a reagent for the chiral derivatization of amino alcohols. It also reacts with alkanoamines in aprotic medium containing trichloroacetic acid and produces tartaric acid monoesters.

Application

(+)-O,O′-Diacetyl-L-tartaric anhydride may be used as a chiral derivatizating agent in the following:
  • determination of enantiomeric vigabatrin in mouse serum samples using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-M)        
  • determination of trantinterol in rat plasma by ultra performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS)

A sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the stereoselective assay of (R)- and (S)-propranolol in human plasma. The method involves diethyl ether extraction of the drugs and a racemic internal standard, N-tert.-butylpropranolol, followed by derivatization of the compounds

A stereospecific liquid chromatographic (LC) assay was developed for the quantification of the antimalarial drug, halofantrine, in human plasma. Following protein precipitation with acetonitrile, the enantiomers of halofantrine were extracted from human plasma using ammonium hydroxide and tert-butyl methyl ether-hexane.
