Abstract: Procedures for structural analysis of fatty acids are reviewed The emphasis is on methods that involve gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and, in particular, the use of picolinyl ester and dimethyloxazoline derivatives These should be considered as complementing each other, not simply as alternatives However, additional derivatization procedures can be of value, including hydrogenation and deuteration, and preparation of dimethyl disulfide and 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione adducts Sometimes complex mixtures must be separated into simpler fractions prior to analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry Silver ion and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography are then of special value In particular, a novel application of the latter technique, involving a base-deactivated stationary phase and acetonitrile as mobile phase, is described that is suited to the separation of fatty acids in the form of picolinyl ester and dimethyloxazoline derivatives, as well as methyl esters

TL;DR: The utility of ferrocene-based "electrochemically ionizable" derivatives to enhance ES-MS analysis of simple alcohols, sterols, and phenols is demonstrated using a saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) fruit extract known to contain a variety of alcohols at low levels.
Abstract: In this paper, the use of ferrocene-based "electrochemically ionizable" derivatives to enhance ES-MS analysis of simple alcohols, sterols, and phenols is discussed. These derivatives are designed to take advantage of the electrolysis process inherent to operation of the ES ion source for selective ionization. Derivatization procedures, electrochemical character of the derivatives, and the ES-MS operational parameters necessary to maximize electrochemical ionization and to enhance gas-phase detection are presented with reference to ferrocenecarbamate ester derivatives of a variety of alcohol standards, as well as the ferroceneboronate derivative of the diol, pinacol. Tandem mass spectrometric analysis of the derivatives (precursor and product ion spectra) is shown to provide derivative confirmation, enhanced detection, and additional analyte structure information. The utility of this derivatization approach for the selective detection of alcohols in complicated mixtures is demonstrated using a saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) fruit extract known to contain a variety of alcohols at low levels.

Abstract: A method for the determination of hydrogen peroxide and several organic peroxides by high-performance liquid chromatography with post-column UV irradiation, derivatization and fluorescence detection is described. By means of post-column UV irradiation in the presence of water organic peroxides are converted into hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides, which react rapidly with the post-column derivatization agent p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (PHPAA) under catalysis of horseradish peroxidase to yield the fluorescent PHPAA dimer that is detected at excitation and emission wavelengths of 285 and 400 nm, respectively. The detection limit for hydrogen peroxide is 14 ng/mL, for organic peroxides between 34 ng/mL and 5 μg/mL. No interference by other compounds was observed when their concentrations were below 10 mg/mL except ethers and phenols.
