Generic gas chromatography-flame ionization detection method for quantitation of volatile amines in pharmaceutical drugs and synthetic intermediates.

Volatile amines are among the most frequently used chemicals in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. Synthetic route optimization often involves the evaluation of several different amines requiring the development and validation of analytical methods for quantitation of residual amine levels. Herein, a simple and fast generic GC-FID method on an Agilent J&W CP-Volamine capillary column (using either He or H
