title: Synthesis and characterization of m- and p-methylbenzyl-mercapturic acids derived from m- and p-xylenes.
abstract: Chemical synthesis and physical properties of two mercapturic acids suggested as urinary metabolites of m- and p-xylenes are described. These compounds may be used for the identification and quantitative determination by high-performance liquid chromatography of the corresponding mercapturic acids in urine.
