I have done ultrasonic extraction of QFF having PM10,with DCM. Now,i want to do derivatiza derivatize all polar organic compounds present in sample.The derivatizing agents are BSFTA+!% TMCS.Please help me in finding the right procedure.
Get rid of any trace of water. A smart way to do so is to blow down the sample with nitrogen after addition of 0.5-1 mL acetonitrile (dried on molecular sieves) - repeat twice.
Dry and store pyridine on KOH (if you plan to use it-in my experience its use is sometimes questionable).
Consider the possibility of derivatization with hydroxylamine chlorhydrate (or methoxylamine) in pyridine before silanization (great for sugars and keto/aldo compounds)
