title: Identification of carcinogenic acetates of fluorenylhydroxamic acids by high-pressure liquid chromatography.
abstract: A method for the identification and quantitation of carcinogeniic O-acetates of fluorenylhydroxamic acids by high-pressure liquid chromatography is described. The adsorbent is Corasil II and a mixture of ethyl acetate-n-hexane (1:1) is used as the solvent. N-Acetoxy-2-fluorenylacetamide or N-acetoxy-3-fluorenylacetamide are separable as single peaks from N-acetoxy-4-fluorenylacetamide and from N-acetoxy-2-fluorenylbenzamide. The peak height traced by the recorder is linearly proportional to the amount of compound in the effluent. The method can be utilized for the detection of 0.1-1.0 mug of compound. The method has been used to identify the products of the decomposition of N-acetoxy-2-fluorenylacetamide in aqueous media.
