General description: | Acylation, a replacement to silylation, allows the conversion of compounds that consist of active hydrogens (-OH, -SH and -NH) into esters, thioesters, and amides via the action of a carboxylic acid or derivative. The carbonyl group adjacent to the halogenated carbons is known to improve the electron capture detector (ECD) response. Acylation has several advantages: • It enhances the stability of compounds by protecting unstable groups. • It may confer volatility on substances like carbohydrates or amino acids, that have several polar groups that they are non-volatile and usually decompose on heating. • It facilitates the separations not possible with underivatized compounds. • Compounds are detectable at very low levels with an ECD. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-3,5-h |
