Abstract
A method has been devised for determining primary and secondary amines in the form of dithiocarbamic acid ethyl esters by high-resolution gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The dithiocarbamic acid ethyl ester derivatives of primary amines decompose by pyrolysis in the injection port of a chromatograph to isothiocyanates, whereas derivatives of secondary amines do not decompose. The mechanism of isothiocyanate formation from dithiocarbamic acid esters was established by identifying the pyrolysis products. This method permits simultaneous differentiation and determination of primary and secondary amines.
