A rapid, sensitive gas chromatographic procedure for analysis of beta-phenylethylamine is reported. The procedure involves extraction with a liquid ion-pairing compound, back-extraction with HCl, basification and reaction with pentafluorobenzoyl chloride under aqueous conditions. The pentafluorobenzoyl derivative of beta-phenylethylamine is then separated and analyzed on a gas chromatograph equipped with a capillary column and an electron-capture detector. The procedure produces a derivative which has good chromatographic properties and a high degree of stability. The method has been applied to analysis of beta-phenylethylamine in a variety of tissues and body fluids.

D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
