title: Gas-liquid chromatography of 3-chloropropanediol.
abstract: To improve the gas chromatographic properties of 3-chloropropanediol, a phenylboronic acid derivative was prepared. This method appears to be suitable for trace analysis of the title compound. Epichlorohydrin, 1,2-propanediol, and 1,2-dichloropropanol were among the structurally related compounds shown not to interfere. The structure of the derivative was confirmed by gas chromatography-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy utilizing a matrix isolation interface and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
