Derivatization reagent used in a GC-MS analysis of stereoisomer content of synthetic peptides. Also used in a GC-MS detection method for synephrine in dietary supplements.
For the preparation of volatile pentafluoropropionyl derivatives of a wide range of compounds, for example, amines and alcohols, for EC/GC.
Pentafluoropropionic anhydride (PFPA) was used as derivatization reagent for urine samples to determine the presence of codeine, morphine, 6-monoacetylmorphine, ethylmorphine, and dihydrocodeine using GC-MS in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. It was also used to derivatize the dry pericardial fluid sample extracts for quantification of cocaine, benzoylecgonine, and cocaethylene in pericardial fluid using GC-MS.

Estrogen metabolites play important roles in the development of female-related disorders and homeostasis of the bone. To improve detectability, a validated gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was conducted with two-phase extractive ethoxycarbonlyation (EOC) and subsequent pentafluoropropionyl (PFP) derivatization was introduced.
