Abstract

Quantitation by gas chromatography requires the use of suitable internal standards. Deuteriated analogs are superior, but usually require a mass spectrometer as the gas chromatographic detector to distinguish them from the compounds being measured. Completely deuteriated alkanes are, however, completely separated from the corresponding unlabelled alkanes and serve as suitable internal standards for the quantitation of environmental alkanes by gas chromatography alone.
