High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of 3-Iodo-2-propynyl-N-butylcarbamate .
3-Iodo-2-propynyl-N-butylcarbamate, also known as idocarb, has the chemical formula C8H12INO2 . It is typically used as a preservative in paint, coatings, and wood preservatives. In cosmetics, besides as a preservative, it is also used as a fungicide at low concentrations.
3-Iodo-2-propynyl-N-butylcarbamate can be retained and analyzed using the Primesep SB stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a phosphoric acid buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
