Derivatization Reaction

Product Description
DMEQ-COCl is a labeling reagent for primary and secondary alcohols. In organic solvents such as benzene and acetonitrile, this reagent readily reacts with alcohols to yield highly fluorescent derivatives. The HPLC detection limits of benzylalcohol, n-hexanol, and cyclohexanol are 2-3 femtomoles per injection. Steroids that have primary and secondary alcohols can be detected as fluorescent DMEQ derivatives. However, tert-alcohols, hydroxycarboxylic acids, and phenols do not react under the same labeling conditions. DMEQ-COCl also reacts with amines; as little as 0.3 pmol per ml of β-phenylethylamine has been detected in human serum. The excitation and emission wavelengths of the labeled materials are 400 nm and 500 nm, respectively.
