title: Limitations of diazomethane for the quantification of 15-oxo-prostaglandin F2alpha.
abstract: The relatively rapid formation of pyrazoline adducts is a serious side reaction in the esterification of 15-oxo-PGF2alpha with ethereal diazomethane under conditions used routinely in the chemical derivatization of prostaglandins.
