A1 - Nehls, Irene A1 - Piechotta, Christian T1 - Synthesis, characterization and application of a two-fold 13C-labeled calibration standard for the analysis of arsenobetaine using HPLC-ESI-MS/MS without high resolution mass spectrometry N2 - A procedure has been developed for the determination of arsenobetaine in fish matrix by HPLC–ESI-MS/MS. Hereby (trimethylarsonium)-1,2-13C-acetate (arsenobetaine) is used as internal calibration standard. Arsenobetaine was determined in a fish material (Sea Bass) with an expanded uncertainty of 3.8%.

Due to the racemic precursor, the title compound is also obtained as a racemate. Disorder was observed during structure refinement, originating from two possible half-chair conformations of the non-aromatic ring. The disorder was refined by introducing split positions in the cyclo-hexane ring regarding the two possible R and S-enantiomers at the chiral CH group [ratio 0.744 (3):0.256 (3)]. The crystal structure features pairs of inversion-related molecules connected by pairs of non-classical C–H···O hydrogen bonds.

In the case of AHTN, the carboxylic acid 3,5,5,6,8,8-hexamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-2- carboxylic acid (AHTN-COOH) was generated by a haloform reaction, being the origin for two new chlorinated DBPs. In the case of HHCB, disinfection via hypochlorite led to the HHCB-lactone. All reaction products and intermediates were synthesized and isolated. The relevant degradation mechanisms are discussed in detail.

The molecule possesses a chiral C atom, although the structure determination was performed on racemic material, expressed in the structure as disordered chiral sites. The asymmetric unit consists of four AHTN-OH molecules containing an hydroxy group and forming a tetrameric cyclic motif built up by four strong hydrogen bonds between these hydroxy groups and additionally by two weak C–H···π interactions. Furthermore, these tetramers are linked via very weak C–H···π interactions, forming chains along the c axis.
