PG - 179-86 AB - A sensitive HPLC method for the determination of phenol and chlorophenols was developed. The fluorescence labeling reaction of phenols with 4-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzoyl chloride (DIB-Cl) was completed in 30 min at 60 degrees C. The separation of DIB-derivatives of five representative phenols, i.e., phenol, o-, p-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, was achieved within 35 min with an ODS column using isocratic elution. The detection limits of these DIB derivatives at a signal-to-noise ratio (SIN) of 3 were in the range of 0.024 to 0.08 microM (0.12-0.45 pmol/20 microl injection). Twelve kinds of DIB derivatives with phenols containing mono-, di-, tri-, tetra- and penta-chlorophenol were also well separated within 208 min by changing the elution conditions. The derivatives were stable for at least for 24 h when they were placed at room temperature in the dark. The proposed method was applied to the assay of human urine samples and free and total phenol were determined. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the proposed method for within and between-day assay were <7.0% and <14.2%, respectively. The average concentrations of free and total phenol found in urine (n=6) were 4.3+/-2.5 and 29.5+/-14.0 microM, respectively.
