“…However, several limitations were associated with use of these reagents [12,23,25]. Many other reagents such as quaternary ammonium salts [36][37][38], silylating agents [19], arylalkyltriazenes [39], 1-chloro-3-iodopropane [28,32] and pentafluorobenzylbromide [17,22,24,27,31,40,41] have also been used with the latter being used more frequently in the recent past. The derivatives are analyzed using gas chromatography coupled with flame photometric detection, flame ionization detection, mass spectrometry, or tandem mass spectrometry.…”
