Volatile organic compounds are widely introduced into the Dutch aquatic environment. Liquid-liquid extraction and isolation by means of resins give poor recoveries for volatiles. In this study, a method has been developed to analyse these compounds with a purge and

The rotational barrier for a methyl group at the end of an anomeric system is sometimes lower than we might have anticipated. Thus, in the trans-trans conformation of dimethoxymethane, the barrier to methyl rotation is calculated (B3LYP/6-311++G(2d,2p)) to be 2.22
