A reagent used for deriving primary amines. 2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorobenzoyl chloride was used for derivatization of 5-androstenediol, testosterone, estradiol , dihydrotestosterone and estrone in a study to determine their serum levels. 2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorobenzoyl chloride was used to derivative dimethylamine(DMA) in study to develop a rapid and accurate GC-MS method for determination of DMA in human urine. It was used in a study to detect the presence of Enterobacter cloacae in cultures of Leuconostoc mesenteroide by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
