“…According to the literature, the enantiomeric separation of carfentrazone-ethyl has been carried out by HPLC with UV or MS detection. Using UV detection, values obtained for the enantiomeric resolution for this herbicide ranged from 0.61 to 3.42 in analysis times from 10 to 30 min [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], while with MS/MS detection enantiomeric resolutions close to 4.5 in 4 min [ 5 ] and 1.5 in 35 min [ 14 ] were obtained. The individual enantiomeric separation of carfentrazone-ethyl, carfentrazone and ninety-eight different pesticides was described by HPLC-UV, with resolution values of 2.0 and 2.5, and analysis times of 3.2 min and 7.5 min, for carfentrazone-ethyl and carfentrazone, respectively, at a temperature of 25 °C [ 15 ].…”
