title: Determination of dextropropoxyphene and norpropoxyphene in autopsy material by gas chromatography.
abstract: A gas chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of dextropropoxyphene and norpropoxyphene in autopsy material is described. The esters were hydrolyzed before the final determination. The mass spectra of the hydrolyzed esters are presented together with the results of an investigation of 6 cases of fatal intoxications.
