Ab. Demilo et al., CAPILLARY GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE TRANS ISOMERS OF CERALURE, A MEDFLY ATTRACTANT, Journal of chromatography, 673(2), 1994, pp. 295-298
A capillary GC method has been developed to analyze laboratory or comm
ercial samples of the medfly attractant ceralure [ethyl 4- (and 5-)iod
o-trans-2-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate]. The method utilizes a spec
ially prepared fused-silica column with a bonded phenyl-methyl polysil
oxane liquid phase. Baseline separation was achieved for three of the
four trans-ceralure isomers. Difficulties encountered with other colum
ns investigated are also discussed.
