The separation, identification, and quantitation of cannabinoids and their tau=butyldimethylsilyl, trimethylsilylacetate, and diethylphosphate derivatives using high-pressure liquid chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry.
Methods for the separation, identification, and quantitation, of cannabinoids present in hashish have been developed. These methods include high-pressure liquid chromatographic and gas-liquid chromatographic separation of cannabinol, delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol, delta 8-tetrahydrocannabinol, and cannabidiol as well as their tau-butyidimethylsilyl either and trimethylsilylacetate derivatives. The necessity for internal standards; the sensitivity of the HPLC method; and some mass spectral fragmentation pathways for the tau-butyldimethylsily, trimethylsilylacetate, and diethylphosphate derivatives are discussed.
