Abstract A rapid and precise fully automated, direct injection high pressure liquid chromatographic method is described for assaying liquid formulations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and/or picloram (4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid). The method is specific for the 2,4-D and picloram isomers. No sample preparation is needed, triplicate assays can be performed in 1 hr, and precision is about 1% relative at the 95% confidence level. Compounds are separated on a 9 mm id reverse phase microparticulate column with an eluant of ace* tonitrile-water (1+4) , buffered at pH 2.95. No bias was observed between this method and the official final action HPLC method for picloram and 2,4-D in picloram-2,4-D mixtures, 6.B09-6.B12.

Abstract A high pressure liquid chromatographic method for determining furazolidone in turkey tissue has been developed. Tissues are ground with methanol and centrifuged. For lower levels of furazolidone, 2—40 ppb, the supernate is evaporated to dryness and redissolved before it is injected onto the liquid chromatographic column. Using a reverse phase column and an ultraviolet absorption detector set at 365 nm, the assay is linear over the concentration range 2—400 ppb with a coefficient of variation of <4%. Average recovery from fortified tissues was 96% with a coefficient of variation of 6% at the 50-400 ppb level, and 105% with a coefficient of variation of 11% at the 2—40 ppb level.

Abstract A high pressure liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay of ester and salt formulations of 2,4-D has been collaboratively studied. The method is specific for 2,4-D isomer and resolves all known impurities from 2,4-D and the internal standard p-bromophenol. In situ saponification, at room temperature, is performed by adding a combined saponification-internal standard solution to ester products. The same saponification- internal standard solution is added to amine salts and the analytical standard. The injected aqueous potassium salt solution of 2,4-D is then converted to the acid form by an acidic buffered mobile solvent of 20% acetonitrile in water. Optimum chromatography is attained by a mobile solvent pH of 2.95 in a reverse phase microparticulate column, by ion suppression. Each of the 9 collaborators received 3 different ester and 2 different amine formulations of 2,4-D. The coefficients of variation of 2,4-D acid equivalent ranged from 1.22 to 1.59%. The method has been adopted as official first action.

Abstract An efficient preparation was developed for 3,3',4,4'-tetrachloroazobenzene and the corresponding azoxy and hydrazo derivatives, based on the lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 3,4-dichIoronitrobenzene. Batches were analyzed for purity by using a reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatographic method. All 3 compounds can be synthesized in gram quantities with 97–99% purity. Detailed mass, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analyses are presented.

Abstract A high-pressure liquid chromatographic method is presented for the isolation and determination of uncombined intermediates in FD&C Yellow No. 6 (sunset yellow FCF, CI. No. 15895). Samples of FD&C Yellow No. 6 containing 0.1-0.4% sulfanilic acid, 0.1-0.4% 6-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, and 0.3— 1.0% 6,6'-oxybis(2-naphthalenesulfonic acid) were prepared and analyzed using this method. Recoveries ranged between 94 and 101%. Twenty-two samples of FD&C Yellow No. 6 were analyzed by the conventional column elution chromatographic method as well as by the high-pressure liquid chromatographic method. Good agreement was obtained between the 2 methods.

Abstract Patulin is extracted from apple butter samples with ethyl acetate and the extract is cleaned up on a silica gel column, using benzene-ethyl acetate (75+25) as the eluant. High-pressure liquid chromatography, using a 25 cm Zorbax-Sil column, isooctane-ethyl ether-acetic acid (750+250+0.5) as the mobile solvent, and a 254 nm ultraviolet detector, is used for the determinative step. Under these conditions, patulin is eluted before 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, a component of apple butter which interferes with other liquid chromatographic and thin layer chromatographic methods. Recoveries of patulin added at levels of 34.6, 138.4, and 276.8 μg/kg ranged from 89.0 to 112.1%.
