title: [Analysis of the stereoisomers of 14 pyrethroids by capillary gas chromatography].
abstract: The separation of stereoisomers of 14 pyrethroids has been studied by capillary gas chromatography. The pyrethroids are cypermethrin (P1), phenothrin (P2), allethrin (P3), prallethrin (P4), tetramethrin (P5), permethrin (P6), cyfluthrin (P7), fenvalerate (P8), flucythrinate (P9), bromofenvalerate (P10), fluvalinate (P11), methothrin (P12), resmethrin (P13) and py115 (P14). The gas chromatographic conditions were as follows. Column 1: fused silica, 10m x 0.53mm x 1.0microm film (QF-1); columntemperature: 180 degrees C-260 degrees C depending on the pyrethroids analysed; the temperature of injector and detector: 280 degrees C; carrier gas: H2 4.6mL/min; detector: FID; spilt ratio: 5:1, sample size 1.0 L. The stereoisomers of P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P8, P9, P10, P12 and P10 can be completely separated by QF-1 column. However the stereoisomers of P11 can not be separated and the three peaks of P1 and P7 have been only separated by column 1. In comparing with packed column of QF-1, there are advantages in superior resolution, lower oven temperature and shorter analysis time for capillary column of QF-1. Column 2: fused silica HP-5 (crosslinked 5% phenyl methyl silicone) 25m x 0.32mm x 1.0microm film; column temperature: P1 and P7 250 degrees C, P11 260 degrees C, and P14 200 degrees C; carrier gas: H2 2.6mL/min. Other conditions were the same as the column 1 described. The stereoisomers of P1, P7, P11 and P14 can be separated, but the separation of stereoisomers was not sufficient. The stereoisomers of P2, P5, P6, P8, P9, P10, P12 and P13 can be completely separated by HP-5 capillary column. However separation on the HP-5 capillary column is not sufficient for diastereoisomers of P3 and P4.
