A sample work-up method for gas chromatographic profiling of polyethylene glycol related cmpd in pharmaceutical matrixes is described. After a short sample clean-up, carbon-oxygen linkages were partially cleaved with 0.07/M BBr3 in CH2Cl2 at room temp. The reaction was stopped after 1 min by addn of 0.01M hydrochloric acid. The products were trimethylsilylated and injected onto a WCOT 50 m X 0.25 mm CP-SIL 5 CB fused silica column. Eleven model cmpd, representing 4 common types of polyethylene glycol deriv, were evaluated by this method. Characteristic profiles can be obtained from polyethylene glycol deriv carrying different functional groups. Minimum detectable amt are in the range of 200 ug.
