3. Muscalure: Z 9-Tricosene, is a sex pheromone produce by female house flies (Musca domestica). Muscalure in combination with other fecal odors provides maximum attraction for male flies. It is used as a pesticide is in combination with fly paper or other traps. Z 9-Tricosene also serves as a communication pheromone in the waggle dance of bees. The synthetic sample also contains a small amount of E 9-Tricosene. Empenthrin: (E)-(RS)-1-ethynyl-2-methylpent-2-enyl (1RS)-cis-trans-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methylprop-1-enyl)- cyclopropane-carboxylate is a synthetic pyrethrin used as a pesticide. It has a broad spectrum of activity on various flying insects but relatively low mammalian toxicity. It consists of a racemic mixture of up to 4 possible diasteriomers. At least three of the diasteriomers were detected in the commercial product. Information on the Compounds Investigated

6. Fundamentals of Correlation Gas Chromatography- Vaporization Enthalpy 1.The residence time of a compound on the column, t a, is inversely proportional the compounds vapor pressure ( t a = retention time of a solute – retention time of a non-retained reference, t a = t – t nrr (often the solvent) 2.A plot of ln(t o /t a ), where t o is the reference time, 1 min, versus 1/T over a 30 K temperature range results in a straight line 3.The slope of the line, - ∆H trn (T m ) /R, is the enthalpy of transfer of the analyte from the column to the gas phase 4.The enthalpy of transfer is related to the vaporization enthalpy ( ∆ l g H(T) by the following equation where ∆H sln represents the enthalpy of interaction of the solute with the column: ∆H trn (T m ) = ∆ l g H (T m ) + ∆H sln (T m ) 5.If a series of standards are properly selected, a second plot of ∆ l g H(298.15 K) versus ∆H trn (T m ) of the standards is also linear and the equation of the line can be used to evaluate the vaporization enthalpy of any additional targets included in the mixture 6.Appropriate standards with known vaporization enthalpies generally include compounds with the same number and type of functionality as the targets. The structure of the hydrocabon portion of the molecule may vary

7. Use of appropriate standards with known vapor pressures also results in linear plots between ln(p/p o ) and ln(t o /t a ) The equation of the line plus values of ln(t o /t a ) of the targets results in their vapor pressures Performed over a range of temperatures can provide the vapor pressure temperature profile of the targets Fundamentals of Correlation Gas Chromatography - Vapor Pressure

15. The vapor pressure of numerous substances have been measured by the gas chromatography - retention time method 1 which differs from the method just discussed. Vapor pressure: Gas Chromatography - Retention Time Method The vapor pressure - retention time method consists in ploting ln[(t r ) tar /(t r ) ref ] T against ln(p ref,,T ) at different temperatures resulting in the following linear relationship: ln[(t r ) tar /(t r ) ref ] T = [1- (  l g H) tar /(  l g H) ref ] ln(p ref, T ) - C (t r ) tar and  l g H) tar are the relative retention time and vaporization enthalpy of the target (t r ) ref and  l g H) ref refer to the corresponding properties of the reference materials. The slope and intercept of the line obtained is given by [1- (  l g H) tar /(  l g H) ref ] and - C The vapor pressure of the target at T = 298.15 K is obtained from: ln(p tar, 298.15 K /Pa) = [(  l g H) tar /(  l g H) ref ] ln(p ref, 298.15 K /Pa) + C 1 Hamilton, D.
