title: A method for the gas chromatographic determination of vitamin D and related structures.
abstract: A procedure is described for the separation of Vitamin D and related compounds by gas-liquid chromatography using flame ionization detection. The method involves a two-step conversion: isomerization to the corresponding (all trans) isotachysterol(s) followed by methyl ether derivatization of the alcohol group(s). The procedure provides a means for identification as well as a possible basis for quantitation of Vitamin D and analogs.
