1 Sampling. Take at least 100 g.

2 Identity tests

2.1 Infrared. Prepare a sample as a thin film between two KBr windows and adjust
the thickness of the thin film, so that when the IR spectrum is recorded between
4000 cm-1 and 600 cm-1, the transmittance of the major peak at 1239 cm-1 is
between 5% and 10%. The spectrum produced from the sample film should not
differ significantly from that of the standard.

2.2 GLC. Carry out a gas-liquid chromatographic identity test simultaneously


with the determination of edifenphos. The major peak of the sample should have
the same retention time as that of the standard material.
2.3 TLC. Carry out a thin layer chromatographic identity test by comparing the
sample with the standard using the following conditions:

TLC plate Coated with Silica Gel 60 F254 0.25 mm


(Merck, Darmstadt, FRG)
Solvent Toluene-methylethyl ketone (6:1)
Sample solution An amount of sample containing the equivalent of
10 mg edifenphos is dissolved in approximately 0.5 ml
acetone and made up to 1.0 ml.
Reference solution 10 mg edifenphos standard material is dissolved in
approximately 0.5 ml acetone and made up to 1.0 ml.
Sample size I 10 µl sample solution
Sample size II 5 µl sample solution and 5 µl reference solution.
Allow first the spot to dry before applying the second
solution.
Sample size III 10 µl reference solution
Travelling distance 15 cm
Visualization UV at 254 nm
Rf value Approximately 0.6

The major spot of the sample should have the same R f value as that of the
standard material and the spots in sample II should show single spots.

3 Edifenphos
OUTLINE OF METHOD A solution of the sample is separated by gas-liquid
chromatography. The content of active ingredient is calculated from the peak
area using triphenyl phosphate (TPP) as the internal standard.

REAGENTS
Edifenphos standard of known purity
Triphenyl phosphate (TPP) without impurities that disturb the analysis
Acetone RE 34, p. 286
Internal standard solution. Weigh (to the nearest 1 mg) 1.5 g of TPP into a
200 ml volumetric flask, dissolve with sufficient acetone, and dilute to the
volume with acetone.
Calibration solution. Weigh (to the nearest 1 mg) approximately 100 mg
edifenphos standard (s mg) into a 50 ml volumetric flask. Add 10 ml of the
internal standard solution and shake to dissolve. Dilute to the volume with
acetone.

APPARATUS
Gas-liquid chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector and an
integrator
Column glass 110 × 3.2 (i.d.) mm packed with 5% Silicone GE SE-30/
Chromosorb W-HP, 80 to 100 mesh

PROCEDURE
(a) Operating conditions (typical):
Column temperature 190 °C
Detector temperature 220 °C
Injection port temperature 220 °C
Carrier gas flow rate, nitrogen 60 ml/min
Retention times About 8.6 and 11.0 min for edifenphos
and internal standard respectively.

(b) Determination. Weigh (to the nearest 1 mg) sufficient sample to contain
approximately 100 mg (w mg) edifenphos into a 50 ml volumetric flask. Add
10 ml of the internal standard solution and shake to dissolve. Dilute to the
volume with acetone (sample solution).
Inject 4 µl portions of the calibration solution until the peak area ratios of
edifenphos to TPP for two successive injections vary less than 1%. Inject a 4 µl
portion of the calibration solution, make duplicate injections of 4 µl portions of
the sample solution, and then inject another 4 µl portion of the calibration
solution. Obtain the peak area ratios of edifenphos to TPP. Average the peak
area ratios of the sample solution injections (R) and also of the calibration
solutions (R') preceding and following the sample injections.
