Abstract
A new method for the determination of monomethylamine nitrate and its related aliphatic amine nitrates, used as sensitizing agent in water gel explosives, is presented.
The reaction of 7-dimethylaminocoumarin-3-carbonyl fluoride with primary or secondary amines proceeds under mild conditions and is completed in 30 seconds, even if in the presence of water. The derivatives were highly fluorescent compounds.
Ten aliphatic amine derivatives were separated in 16 minutes. A. linearity range of 20 to 80 nM/mL was obtained for the calibration graph of the monomethylamine nitrate. The detection limit was under 1 picomole for an injection volume of 10 μL.
