[0002] For the detection of trace substances in sample samples, isotope dilution mass spectrometry (LDMS) using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) coupled with an isotope-labeled reference material as an internal standard is the most common and efficient method. Using an isotope-labeled reference material as an internal standard, the isotope-labeled reference material and the analyte are chemically identical, except for their molecular weight. Therefore, isotope dilution mass spectrometry achieves high detection accuracy and sensitivity, making it an indispensable tool for drug detection in wastewater.

[0003] The detection of drugs and related metabolites in sewage can provide a comprehensive and intuitive assessment of a city's drug prevalence. Combined with relevant data from drug enforcement and anti-drug efforts, it is a key tool for assessing a city's overall drug situation and conducting criminal investigations. It plays a crucial role in assessing and combating drug abuse. The detection of drugs and related metabolites in sewage can reveal a subject's long-term drug exposure, making it an essential testing tool for drug addiction assessment and community-based drug rehabilitation programs.

[0004] Currently, the method for detecting trace amounts of the drug tramadol in environmental or biological samples is generally liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Compounds with similar chemical properties to tramadol are selected as internal standards, and the tramadol content in the sample is determined using a standard curve.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] D4- Tramadol preparation method.

[0050]

[0051] At 0°C, dissolve D4-3-bromonitrobenzene (CAS. No. 81395-19-6, 177 mg, 1 mmol) and Pd-C (40%, 50 mg) in 20 mL of deuterated methanol. Degas the mixture with argon and then fill it with 10 atm of deuterium. After reacting at room temperature for 24 hours, filter and remove the catalyst. After removing the methanol by rotary evaporation, add 10 mL of 0.05 M sulfuric acid under an ice-salt bath, followed by dropwise addition of aqueous sodium nitrite (69 mg) and stir to form a homogeneous solution. Slowly heat the mixture to boiling, then cool to room temperature after 20 minutes. After complete conversion as monitored by TLC, extract the mixture five times with 200 mL of dichloromethane. Combine the organic phases, dry them over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filter to remove the desiccant, and rotary evaporator to remove the solvent. Add 20 mL of tetrahydrofuran, 168 mg of sodium bicarbonate, and 142 mg of iodomethane. After reacting at room temperature for 24 hours, evaporate most of the solvent, dissolve in dichloromethane, wash with 2% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and saturated brine, and dry over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Remove the desiccant by filtration, and remove the solvent by rotary evaporation. Purification by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate = 1:1) afforded 180 mg of a colorless, transparent oil, which was dissolved in 50 mL of anhydrous, oxygen-free tetrahydrofuran. 40 mg of magnesium turnings was added, and the mixture was degassed with argon and heated to a slight boil to initiate the reaction. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and filtered to remove excess magnesium under argon. The mixture was then added dropwise to a solution of 2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)-1-hexanone (148 mg, 0.95 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, then heated to reflux for 4 hours. Insoluble matter was removed by filtration, and the solvent was evaporated. The mixture was dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with water, saturated ammonium chloride solution, saturated brine, and water, respectively. The mixture was then extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered to remove the desiccant, and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. Purification by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate = 15:1, 5:1, 1:1) afforded 120 mg (45%) of D4-tramadol as a pale yellow solid.

[0069] (2) Sample pretreatment and testing

[0070] The sewage sample was filtered through filter paper, 100 mL was taken, 2 mL of methanol (containing 10 ng / ml D4-tramadol) was added, and 50 mL of each portion was loaded on the SPE column at a speed of 5 mL / min.
