Analysis of Benzylamine, Benzonitrile, Toluene on Zodiac HST A

Benzonitrile (C₆H₅CN), toluene (C₇H₈), and benzylamine (C₆H₅CH₂NH₂) are organic compounds widely used in chemical synthesis. Benzonitrile, a colorless liquid with an almond odor, serves as a solvent and intermediate in pharmaceuticals and perfumes. Toluene, with a paint thinner smell, is used in producing benzene, adhesives, and paint thinners. Benzylamine, also colorless with a faint almond odor, is an intermediate in pharmaceuticals, dyes, and polymers.

These chemicals should be handled carefully due to their hazardous nature. Refer to safety data sheets for proper handling.

The separation and analysis of these compounds can be conducted on a reverse-phase Zodiac HST A column (4.6 x 150 mm, 5 µm, 100 Å) with a mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and sulfuric acid. UV detection occurs at 210 nm.

The limit of detection (LOD) varies depending on the instrument and laboratory conditions, even when using the same general analysis method.
