Abstract

METHODS A series of thermally unstable diazocarbonyl compounds, alkyl diazoacetates (predicted limit of stability approx. 140 C, the boiling point of ethyl diazoacetate), was selected for GC/MS analysis using standard equipment. Different GC separation conditions were selected so that the retention temperatures of target compounds were both below and above 140 C. RESULTS Analyzing alkyl diazoacetates within their thermal stability range ...
