The method is based on pre-column derivatization of the analytes with the derivatization reagent (–)-(1R)-menthyl chloroformate. The derivatization reaction selectively gives diastereomeric carbamates that are resolvable on an achiral non-polar GC column. The developed technique covers variously substituted THIQs, which differ significantly in volatility, steric and electronic properties. In all cases, the resolution factors (R) exceeded the value of 1.5. The method represents a robust way of analysis of mixtures of THIQs, which are often present in various matrixes such as body fluids, tissues and reaction mixtures.展开更多
