The study was undertaken to seek improvements in the general method of analyzing halide mixtures by alkylation in a gas chromatograph. It was desired to improve the yield of the alkylation reactions for chloride, bromide, and iodide in the gas chromatograph and to eliminate the trialkylamine interference. The experiments demonstrated that the simultaneous determination of quaternary ammonium chlorides, bromides, and iodides was feasible in nonaqueous solvents such as acetone, acetonitrile, and methanol in which the halide salts and n-butyl tosylate are mutually soluble. This procedure may require that the halides first be extracted into a nonaqueous solution containing n-butyl tosylate. 1 figure, 2 tables.
