Analysis of positional isomers of monounsaturated fatty acids by high performance liquid chromatography of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones of reduced ozonides. 1987

C R Caughman, and L C Boyd, and M Keeney, and J Sampugna

A method is described for quantifying the positional isomers in monounsaturated fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) fractions. The procedure involves the preparation of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones (DNPH) of the fragments generated during reductive ozonolysis of FAME, class isolation of the aldehyde and aldehyde ester DNPH, and separation of the aldehyde ester derivatives by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The high extinction coefficient of the DNPH provides for a sensitive assay which is linear for a large range of components over a concentration range of 0.075-5 nmol/component, and the stability of the DNPH permits the independent analysis of the aldehyde and aldehyde ester fragments generated during reductive ozonolysis. The reductive ozonolysis-DNPH-HPLC method developed is as sensitive, reproducible, and accurate as reductive ozonolysis-gas-liquid chromatography and does not suffer from some of the drawbacks of the classical procedure.

D007536 Isomerism The phenomenon whereby certain chemical compounds have structures that are different although the compounds possess the same elemental composition. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed) Isomerisms
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010126 Ozone The unstable triatomic form of oxygen, O3. It is a powerful oxidant that is produced for various chemical and industrial uses. Its production is also catalyzed in the ATMOSPHERE by ULTRAVIOLET RAY irradiation of oxygen or other ozone precursors such as VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS and NITROGEN OXIDES. About 90% of the ozone in the atmosphere exists in the stratosphere (STRATOSPHERIC OZONE).
