Abstract
Abstract A rapid method is described for the separation of the α-tocopherol model compound, 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-chromanol (6), from 9 of its oxidation products in a single 35 minute run. Separated derivatives of 6, in order of elution, included the 5-cholesteroxymethyl (1), spirotrimer (2), spirodimer (3), 5-formyl (4), 5-ethoxymethyl (5), dihydroxydimer (7), chroman dione (8), quinone (9) and pyrano xanthene (10). A normal phase system, using gradient elution is employed, the eluent being monitored at 290 nm. The minimum detection limit for compounds 1–8 was 0.1 μg per injection and for compounds 9 and 10 it was 0.3 μg per injection.
