A method of forming a stable chromophore derived from vanylmandelic acid and the use thereof in the determination of vanylmandelic acid
Abstract
Abstract The invention provides a method of forming a stable chromophore derived from vanylmandelic acid characterised by forming an ethyl acetate extract of a diazo derivative of vanylmandelic acid and adding dimethyl-sulphoxide and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol to said extract. The diazo derivative may be the reaction product of p-nitrobenzenediazonium salt and vanylmandelic acid. The invention also includes a method of determining vanylmandelic acid characterised by forming a stable chromophore by the above method and quantitatively determining said stable chromophore. The method is particularly useful for the determining of urinary vanylmandelic acid.
