The aromatic amines, namely 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, 4-chloroaniline, 2-methoxy-5-methyl-aniline, 3,3'-dimethylbenzidine, 2,4-diaminotoluidine, 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline, 4,4'-oxydianiline, aniline, 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine, benzidine, 4-aminobiphenyl, o-dianisidine, o-anisidine, o-toluidine, 4,4'-methylene-bis-2-chloroaniline and 2-naphthylamine are oxidized in methanol/BMIm[NTf2] at a potential around +0.68V to +0.93V vs. Ag/AgCl at a glassy carbon electrode, which is the base for their determination by HPLC/ED. Using the optimized conditions of methanol/BMIm[NTf2] 70: 30 (v/v) as mobile phase, flow-rate of 0.8 mL.min(-1), column CLC-ODS, E-ap = +1.0 V and T = 40 C analytical curves were constructed for each of the tested amines. Good linearity was obtained in the concentration range of 1.09 mg.L-1 to 217 mg.L-1, with excellent correlation coefficients. The limits of detection reached 0.021 mg.L-1 to 0.246 mg.L-1 and good relative standard deviations (RSD, n = 3) were obtained from the measurements. Satisfactory recovery for each aromatic amine was achieved, ranging from 95 to 103%. The developed method was successfully applied to determine six aromatic amines present as contaminants in commercial hair dye samples.7961-7979engionic liquid in chromatographyBMIm[NTf2]HPLC with electrochemistry detectionhair dyecarcinogenic amines determinationArtigo10.3390/molecules17077961WOS:000306752700025Acesso abertoWOS000306752700025.pdf0000-0002-2296-1393
