Abstract
A method for the simultaneous detection, separation and analysis by reverse hase HPLC of sulfur mustard type compounds and their major hydrolysis and oxidation by-products utilizes a novel precolumn enhancement derivatization procedure. The method involves the reaction of these nonchromophoric sulfides with N-halogeno-N-metal arylsulfonamidates on a microscale to produce UV or visible absorbing or fluorescing arylsulfonylsulfilimine compounds. These arylsulfonylsulfilimine derivatives can then be readily separated on a low polarity C-18 column by reverse phase HPLC. The method permits quantitation of these sulfides by UV detector response in quantities as small as 20 nanograms.
