Abstract
Residues of 2 - chloro - 1 - (3 - ethoxy- 4 - nitrophenoxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl) benzene and reduced metabolites are determined by digesting a sample methanol extract with aluminum in aqueous 10% sodium hydroxide to convert residues to 4-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-phenoxy]-2-ethoxybenzenamine. This compound is partitioned into hexane, using a simultaneous distillation-extraction process. The heptafluorobutyryl derivative is then prepared, partially purified by chromatography on Florisil, and measured by electron capture gas-liquid chromatography. The method is sensitive to 0.01 ppm.Keywords
