Abstract
Methods for the nuclear magnetic resonance and gas chromatographic analysis of the enantiomers of p-trifluoromethylmandelic acid (p-TFM) and Mosher's acid (alpha-methoxy-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid) present in rat urine samples are described. Gas chromartography was performed using cyclodextrin capillary columns with both compounds analysed following derivatisation with methanolic HCl. Nuclear magnetic resonance was performed directly on the untreated urine samples following addition of beta-cyclodextrin. The methods were suitable for the determination of the individual enantiomers of the analytes in urine. Analysis of the rat urine samples indicated that the p-TFM had undergone a unidirectional enantiomeric interconversion in vivo, while the enantiomers of Mosher's acid were excreted unchanged.
