The invention discloses a method for extracting a p-phenylenediamine
antioxidant in a liquid sample and application of the p-phenylenediamine
antioxidant. The p-phenylenediamine
antioxidant comprises N-(1, 2, 4-trimethyl-1, 3-pentanediol) the
organic solvent is at least one of N, N '-diphenyl-1, 3-dimethyl butyl)-N'-phenyl p-phenylenediamine, N-cyclohexyl-N '-phenyl p-phenylenediamine, N-
isopropyl-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine, N, N '-diphenyl-1, 4-phenylenediamine, N, N'-di-2-naphthyl p-phenylenediamine and 2-((4-methylpentane-2-yl) amino)-5-(phenyl amino) cyclohex-2, 5-
diene-1, 4-
diketone. According to the method, liquid-liquid extraction which is simple and efficient to operate, low in cost and good in
repeatability is adopted as a sample
pretreatment method, and is combined with an
isotope label method and an ultra-
high performance liquid chromatography-
tandem mass spectrometry technology, so that separation and qualitative and quantitative detection of six p-phenylenediamine antioxidants and
quinone derivatives in a sample are realized; meanwhile, the sensitivity is high, the quantity of
isotope internal standards is small, the
solvent loss is small, and the actual detection requirement is met.
