General Description
Sodium 1-dodecanesulfonate is an ion-pairing reagent and increases the retention of thiabendazole on the HPLC column during determination of thiabendazole in citrus fruit and banana. It is a surfactant standard.
Purification Methods
Recrystallise it twice from EtOH and dry it in an oven at 105o for 2hours. It picks up moisture to form the 3.5H2O. Its hydrate crystallises in several phases. [Tartar & Wright J Am Chem Soc 61 543 1939, Reed & Tartar J Am Chem Soc I 57 571 1935, Beilstein 4 III 27, 4 IV 64.]
