Confirmation of pesticide residue identity: part IX. Organophosphorus pesticides.
This paper describes a confirmation procedure for residue levels of dyfonate, dichlorofenthion and cyanox. After extraction and quantitation by flame photometric detector (FPD)-gas liquid chromatography (GLC), the organophosphorus pesticides are hydrolyzed in a 10% methanolic-potassium hydroxide solution. The phenolic hydrolysis products are then extracted from this solution and reacted with pentafluorobenzyl bromide to produce the pentafluorobenzyl (PFB) ether derivatives. These PFB ethers are subsequently cleaned-up and fractionated on a silica gel micro-column and analyzed by electron capture (EC)- GLC.
