Safety instructions
The chemicals, solvents and equipment were used with caution. The safety rules defined within DEFITRACES were strictly followed.

Preparation of the mobile phase
A volume of 275 mL of water was transferred into a 500-mL graduated cylinder. A volume of 225 mL of methanol was added. The solution was treated with ultrasounds for
5 minutes and left to stand for 10 minutes before analysis.

Preparation of the thiourea solution
The thiourea solution was prepared at a concentration of about 800 mg/L and diluted 100 then 1.5 fold with methanol/eau 5/5 before analysis.
This diluted solution was used for the t0 determination.

Preparation of the analytical reference item solutions
Acetanilide, methylbenzoate, isoproturon, 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene, pyrazophos and 4,4’-DDT are the six reference items solutions chosen within the method recommended reference substances for the HPLC method.
For acetanilide, 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene, pyrazophos and 4,4’-DDT: A quantity of about 10 mg (to the nearest ± 0.1 mg) of reference item was weighed into a 100-mL volumetric flask. The volume was made up with methanol. The solution was treated with ultrasounds during 5 minutes.
For isoproturon: A quantity of about 5 mg (to the nearest ± 0.1 mg) of reference item was weighed into a 25-mL volumetric flask. The volume was made up with methanol. The solution was treated with ultrasounds during 5 minutes.
For methylbenzoate: A quantity of about 20 mg (to the nearest ± 0.1 mg) of reference item was weighed into a 25-mL volumetric flask. The volume was made up with methanol. The solution was treated with ultrasounds during 5 minutes.

Preparation of the diluted analytical reference item solutions
For acetanilide, methylbenzoate and isoproturon: A 20 times dilution was made up with a mixture of methanol/water 45/55 v/v. A vial was prepared for analysis.
For 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene, pyrazophos and 4,4’-DDT: A 5 times dilution was made up with a mixture of methanol/water 45/55 v/v. A vial was prepared for analysis.
These solutions were used as reference item solutions to obtain the calibration curve.

Preparation of the mixed analytical reference item solutions
Volumes of 1 mL of acetanilide, 1 mL of methylbenzoate, 1 mL of isoproturon, 4 mL of pyrazophos, 4 mL of 4,4’-DDT and 4 mL of 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene were transferred into a 20-mL volumetric flask. The volume was made up with the mixture of methanol/water 45/55 v/v.
A vial was prepared for analysis.

Preparation of the test item solution
A quantity of about 0.25 g of LCE08121 was accurately weighed into a 50-mL volumetric flask. The volume was made up with methanol. The solution was treated with ultrasounds for 5 minutes before analysis.

Details on results (HPLC method):
First run:

Products Mean Retention Time (min) Value of the Capacity factor k’ Value of log k’ Value of log koc
Acetanilide 4.68 0.27 -0.57 1.25
Methyl benzoate 5.80 0.58 -0.24 1.80
Isoproturon 6.74 0.83 -0.08 1.86
1,2,3-trichlorobenzene 12.41 2.37 0.37 3.16
Pyrazophos 20.25 4.50 0.65 3.65
4,4’ DDT 56.79 14.43 1.16 5.63
Test item 26.77 6.27 0.80 4.41

Mean t0 = 3.68 min (thiourea)

Using the Capacity factor and the adsorption coefficient of the reference items, the following calibration curve was obtained:
log k’ = 0.3855 log koc – 0.8998 r2 = 0.9652


Second run:
Products Mean Retention Time (min) Value of the Capacity factor k’ Value of log k’ Value of log koc
Acetanilide 4.69 0.27 -0.57 1.25
Methyl benzoate 5.81 0.58 -0.24 1.80
Isoproturon 6.74 0.83 -0.08 1.86
1,2,3-trichlorobenzene 12.34 2.35 0.37 3.16
Pyrazophos 19.97 4.43 0.65 3.65
4,4’ DDT 55.96 14.21 1.15 5.63
Test item 26.72 6.26 0.80 4.42

Mean t0 = 3.69 min (thiourea)

Using the Capacity factor and the adsorption coefficient of the reference items, the following calibration curve was obtained: log k’ = 0.3834 log koc – 0.8954 r2 = 0.9638


Discussion
Variation in the retention times of the reference items are very small. Therefore a stable configuration of the HPLC column can be assumed.
The correlation log k’/ log koc is accurate as calibration gave a coefficient of correlation near r2 = 0.965.
Under the normal chromatographic conditions, the test item peak showed a retention on the column around 26.75 min.
