Liquid chromatographic method development for determination of fungicide epoxiconazole enantiomers by achiral and chiral column switching technique in water and soil.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in both chiral isocratic and achiral-chiral column switching mode was employed for optimization of separation conditions, separation and determination of fungicide epoxiconazole in real samples. Two enantiomers of commercially available triazole fungicide epoxiconazole ( BAS 480 F), first registered in 1993, were resolved for the first time on a microcrystalline cellulose triacetate (MCTA). A low-cost home-packed chiral column (150x3 mm, 15-25 microm, MCTA, Merck) enabled baseline enantiomeric resolution of two enantiomers of the fungicide epoxiconazole produced commercially. The effects of concentration of organic modifiers (methanol, ethanol) in mobile phase, flow-rate and temperature were studied. The isocratic chiral HPLC method allows determination of the enantiomers in tap and surface water within the range 1-1000 mg/l by direct injection (20 microl) of the sample. Using the achiral (C18)-chiral (MCTA) column-switching technique and 1-ml sample volume, injection of 0.050 mg/l of epoxiconazole enantiomers can be conveniently determined by UV detection at 230 nm. The same method applied to methanolic soil extracts allows determination of 0.2 mg/kg of epoxiconazole enantiomers in addition to the other 10 commonly used pesticides in fortified soils.[1]
