Abstract

Abstract A GLC method is described for the determination of the dimethyl ether of diethylstilbestrol (DME) in diethylstilbestrol (DES). A 1 g sample of DES is dissolved in an aqueous solution of 0.5N NaOH and then extracted with a chloroform solution containing benefin, the internal standard. An aliquot of the chloroform layer is chromatographed and the DME peak is measured relative to the internal standard peak. The method was tested for accuracy within the 11–110 ppm range and a linear plot of detector response vs. concentration was obtained.
