title: Combined gas-liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of pemoline in biological samples.
abstract: A description is given of a gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method for the detection and determination of pemoline in biological samples. On treatment with hydrochloric acid, pemoline is converted into 5-phenyl-2,4-dioxooxazolidine, an acidic compound, which can be easily extracted with dichloromethane and determined by GLC. A combined GLC-mass spectrometric method is described.
