The GC section considers derivatization of drugs by reagent class: alkylation, acylation, and silylation. The GC sample handling section describes an approach which combines the extraction and derivatization steps together. Both pre- and postcolumn derivatization are common approaches for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and many of these methods have been adapted for CE. Derivatization for HPLC is often directed toward aliphatic amines, carboxylic acids, or alcohols that are difficult to detect at low levels by absorbance, luminescence, or electrochemical means. In addition, small hydrophilic molecules upon prederivatization are often converted into larger more hydrophobic compounds, making reversed-phase HPLC easier or even feasible. The HPLC section considers derivatization of drugs based on type: alkaloids, amines, antibiotics, barbiturates, carbonyl compounds and carboxylic acids, catecholamines, hydroxy compounds, steroids, and sulfur compounds. For the GC and HPLC sections, tables are included giving the structures of the more important derivatizing agents, the analytes, and the corresponding reaction products. A brief rationale for derivatization chemistry with CE concludes this article. For CE, derivatization is often done to improve detectability since the path length for absorbance detection is very short and fluorescence can be effective using laser-based systems. 1 INTRODUCTION Derivatization in conjunction with chromatography or CE can be done either in an off-line mode, often prior to the separation step (prederivatization), or in an online mode (postcolumn derivatization). Generally, only prederivatization is used in GC, principally to enhance the volatility, temperature stability, and/or detectability. Both pre- and postcolumn derivatization are common approaches for HPLC and many of these methods have been adapted for CE.

For CE, derivatization is often done to improve detectability since the path length for absorbance detection is very short and fluorescence can be effective using-laser based systems. The desirable conditions to be met for precolumn derivatization are (1) the reaction stoichiometry and product structure should be known, (2) the reaction This article describes both pre- and postcolumn derivatization chemistry used in conjunction with either chromatography or capillary electrophoresis (CE) to facilitate the determination of drugs.

Because postcolumn derivatization involves mixing the column effluent with a reagent or passing it through a reactor to form the derivative before it is detected. and N-alkylamines. and silylation reaction chemistries are the most common approaches to derivatization for GC and will be the primary focus in this article.

MSTFA has similar donor strength to BSA and BSTFA but generates an even more volatile by-product. Separations were effected on a relatively short 12 m ð 0. BSTFA (Table 3. TMCS is often used in conjunction with HMDS (Table 3. It does not react with amines or amides and is effective for most steroids. and urine samples after isolation by SPE and subsequent derivatization with BSTFA with TMCS before analysis by GC/MS. After cooling. N-methyltrifluoroacetamide (Table 3. Silylacetamides are represented in the most popular group of silylation agents. was removed by the procedure outlined below. Representative chromatograms are shown in Figure 3(a – c). The drugs of interest were extracted from 2 mL of urine by solid-phase extraction (SPE) columns with a 10% 2-propanol in chloroform elution solvent. and amide groups can all be protected. GC of silyl derivatives is generally straightforward. often to derivatize carboxylic acids (Table 3.CHEMICAL REAGENTS AND DERIVATIZATION PROCEDURES IN DRUG ANALYSIS 5 is due to the presence of deuterated internal standards. reagent 2) to improve the silylation of sugars and related compounds. The limit of quantification and limit of detection were both of the order of 50 ng mL 1 and the linearity was observed up to at least 4000 ng mL 1 . for amines. For urine. reagent 1). and then the aqueous phase was discarded. thiol. column contamination and eventual degradation of the stationary phase. BSA is a highly reactive TMS donor (Table 3. Often an excess of the silylating agent is used in the derivatization reaction to minimize the problem of moisture or other acidic components in the sample. saliva. For alcohols.1 ng mg 1 . secondary amines. plasma. reagent 5). primary > secondary. it is recommended that the excess silylation reagent be evaporated from the sample using a stream of nitrogen before injection into the GC column. and allowed to react with a BSTFA – TMCS mixture at 60 ° C for 30 min before analysis by GC/MS. 11 After spiking with internal standards. the limit of detection was about 1 ng mL 1 and for hair 0. This permits derivatization of lower molecular weight analytes without potential overlap of the trifluoroacetamide by-product. Both excess MSTFA and the by-product often elute with the solvent peak. The addition of TMCS to BSTFA will promote the derivatization of amides. and metabolites in hair. The eluate was evaporated to dryness. which causes a high background level. Sodium periodate oxidation of interfering drugs was carried out if necessary. usually with trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups. It also reacts quickly and smoothly with carboxyl groups. the presence of excess silylating agent.1 M trimethylamine. saliva. If possible. Steric hindrance is also a factor within a class of organic compounds. 12 The derivatized compounds were separated by a GC instrument with a methylphenylsilicone column and nitrogen – phosphorus detection. HFAA was added and the mixture was heated in a sealed tube for 1 h at 70 ° C. A 4% ammonia solution was shaken with the remaining hexane volume and then this organic layer was removed for injection into the GC/MS system. heroin. eliminating the presence of extra peaks in the chromatogram. 13 Reaction conditions involve heating at 70 ° C for 1 h before removal of the excess reagent by N2 and reconstitution . with only one major concern. Cocaine and its metabolites benzoylecgonine and ecgonine methyl ester were sequentially derivatized with thyliodide to obtain the ester derivative and then MSTFA to form the o-TMS derivatives. including those with unhindered and highly hindered OH groups. the tube was shaken. The ease of silylation of these functional groups follows the order alcohol > phenol > carboxylic acid > amine > amide. The extract was acidified with 10% HCl in methanol and the solvent evaporated before reconstitution of the residue in hexane with 0. alcohol. Methyltestosterone was derivatized using either the dimethylethylsilyl (DMES)imidazole or dimethylisopropylsilyl (DMIPS)-imidazole to the corresponding silyl ether derivative. reagent 3). and plasma. Excess HFAA. This avoids several problems such as large reagent blank peaks in the chromatogram and fouling of the flame ionization detector by SiO2 deposits. A polar stationary phase such as poly(ethylene glycol) (Carbowax™ 20 M) and free fatty acid phase (FFAP) will be derivatized by excess silylation reagent and cannot be used. and.

Again TMCS can be added to MSTFA to promote the derivatization of amides and hindered amines and hydroxyl groups.3 Silylation Silylation is probably the most widely used derivatization scheme for GC. reagent 4) has the advantage of giving a more fluorinated by-product than BSA. and hindered hydroxyl groups. owing to their ability to react quickly and quantitatively under mild conditions. saliva. reagent 6). Silyl compounds other than those that derivatize with a TMS group have also been used in conjunction with GC. and hair extracts were passed through SPE columns and the drugs eluted with a methylene chloride – 2 propanol – ammonia solvent. In general. The strongest reagent for silylation of hydroxyl groups is TMSI (Table 3.
