The conventional problems of derivativestability and fluorescence quantum yields In the case of amines reacted with o-phthalaldehyde and various thiols were circumvented by a liquid chromatography/electrochemlstry (LCEC) ap-proach. The degradative hydrolysis of the S-substltuted Iso-Indole was Investigated by varying the sterlc bulk of the thiol used In the o-phthalaldehyde reagent. No appreciable improvement In stability accrued until the bulky tert-butyl group was Incorporated, whereupon half-lives In excess of several hours were appreciated. In contrast to fluorescence, the thiol had little Influence on the electrochemistry of the derivative, which was characterized as a very rapid, Irreversible oxidation of the Isolndole. Gradient separations of both the ß-mercaptoethanol and tert-butyl derivatives on short 3-µ re versed-phase columns permitted LCEC detection limits of less than 500 fmol In the gradient mode. Separations of22 amino acids could be accomplished In under 10 min, but reequilibration lengthened the total analysis time to about 30 min. Detection limits were lowered to 30-150 fmol In the Isocratic mode.The quantitation of amines in varied samples is a problem that has prompted the development of numerous analytical schemes. The most successful approaches havebeen those which couple derivatization of amines with a separation based on liquid chromatography, as illustrated by theamino acid method first proposed by Spackman, Stein, and Moore (1). Their amino acid analyzer was basically a specialized liquid
