This paper describes apreviously unreported problem with the use of N,O-bis-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) and N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-N-methyltrifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA) to derivatise the natural hormone estrone (E1) and the synthetic estrogen 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2). The resulting trimethylsilyl (TMS) and t-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) derivatives of EE2 were partially converted to their respective El derivatives. Therefore, these reagents may not be suitable for simultaneous determination of estrogens in environmental samples, which raises questions about the reliability of results from some earlier studies.
本文描述了使用N,O-双(三甲基硅基)三氟乙酰胺(BSTFA)和N-(叔丁基二甲基硅基)-N-甲基三氟乙酰胺(MTBSTFA)对天然激素雌酮(E1)和合成雌激素17α-乙炔雌二醇(EE2)进行衍生化时一个此前未报道的问题。EE2生成的三甲基硅基(TMS)和叔丁基二甲基硅基(TBS)衍生物部分转化为了各自的E1衍生物。因此,这些试剂可能不适用于环境样品中雌激素的同时测定,这对一些早期研究结果的可靠性提出了质疑。
