Abstract
A preparation method for 9-anthryldiazomethane (ADAM) as a fluorescent labeling reagent for carboxylic acids is described. 9-Anthraldehyde hydrazone is oxidized with an organic oxidant, N-chlorosuccinimide, in an organic solvent such as ethyl acetate to give ADAM, and then the reaction mixture is directly used as the reagent solution for the derivatization of carboxylic acids. Both the oxidation and the derivatization reaction are carried out at room temperature, and an aliquot of the derivatization mixture is directly injected into a chromatograph. 9-Anthrylmethyl ester derivatives formed from ADAM and various carboxylic acids are sufficiently separated on a reversed-phase column and are sensitively detected fluorometrically. The present method was applied to the high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of long and short chain fatty acids, keto acids, and hydroxy acids.
