Ar. Samo et al., MICELLAR PHASE-TRANSFER CATALYSIS - A SUITABLE PROCEDURE TO DERIVATIZE CARBOXYLIC-ACIDS IN BIOLOGICAL MATRICES, Journal of the Chemical Society of Pakistan, 16(2), 1994, pp. 108-111
The potential of micellar-phase transfer catalysis (MPTC) is shown by
derivatization of various carboxylic acids with 9-bromomethylacridine
(Br MAC). These carboxylic acids were monitored in the pre-column deri
vatization mode by fluorescence detection in a completely automated sy
stem. The application of the methodology to analysis of the biological
sample is shown.
