Determination of Lacinilene C 7-Methyl Ether by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract
An HPLC method is presented for the quantization of lacinilene C 7-methyl ether in cotton dusts. A standard of lacinilene C 7-methyl ether was isolated from extracts of gin trash and a new extraction procedure was developed that effected complete removal of lacinilene C 7-methyl ether from cotton dust. Total dust contains an average of 48.64 μg/g of lacinilene C 7-methyl ether, and the below 20 μm fraction contains 35.9 μg/g of lacinilene C 7-methyl ether.
