Hi
i am running a gc headspace residual solvents method. one of the residual solvent of interest is methanol. I am using DMF as the diluent and when i run a blank injection of the diluent i get a significant peak at the methanol retention time which would cause interference. The brand of DMF I am using is sigma aldrich gc headspace tested >= 99.9%. any suggestions on what one should do? would other grades of DMF provide less interference? use this DMF and when determining methanol in the samples account for the area obtained in the diluent?
thanks

If water contaminates the DMF, a reaction by-product will be formed called methylamine. It will elute very close to methanol on most columns and appear to be methanol. It only takes a few parts per million to produce an interfering peak.
You have a choice of distilling the DMF to remove the methylamine or purchasing a fresh bottle or another brand.
I advise you to buy bottles in smaller sizes so the DMF is used more quickly from container to container and to purge the bottle after opening with an inert dry gas after each use.
Do not keep bulk amounts in storage but have a continuing purchase and delivery of fresh solvent if you wish to avoid this contamination in the future.
Of course, if the stock you purchase is old and was packaged some time ago this contamination may be unavoidable.
这个人认为是DMF和水反应,产生了甲胺,与甲醇共洗脱。但DMF水解的主要产物是二甲胺,可能有少量的甲胺生成,当然我也观察到一个以较大的溶剂峰,但是不干扰检测,所以没有在意,现在看来这个大的峰很可能是二甲胺,而那个小的干扰甲醇检测的就是甲胺。
