Anal. Chem. 2010, 82, 6764–6769 Development of a Compound-Specific Carbon Isotope Analysis Method for 2-Methyltetrols, Biomarkers for Secondary Organic Aerosols from Atmospheric Isoprene Qiang Li, § Wu Wang,* ,†,‡ Hong-Wei Zhang, ‡ Yang-Jun Wang,* ,† Bing Wang, | Li Li, † Huai-Jian Li, † Bang-Jin Wang, † Jie Zhan, † Mei Wu, ⊥ and Xin-Hui Bi @ Institute of Environmental Pollution and Health, Shanghai University, 200444 Shanghai, China, Southern Medical University, 510515 Guangzhou, China, School of Stomatology, Tongji University, 200072 Shanghai, China, Hefei Artillery Academy, 230002 Hefei, China, Laboratory of Human Micromorphology, Qingdao University Medical College, 266071 Qingdao, China, and State Key Laboratory of Organic Geochemistry, Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 510640 Guangzhou, China The stable carbon isotope compositions of 2-methyltetrols, biomarker compounds for secondary organic aerosols formed from isoprene in the atmosphere, have been determined by gas chromatography/combustion/ isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS). In this work, isoprene with various δ 13 C values was used to produce 2-methyltetrols via an oxidation reaction with hydrogen peroxide in sulfuric acid under direct sunlight. The target compounds with different stable carbon isotope compositions were then derivatized by methylboronic acid with a known δ 13 C value and measured by GC/C/IRMS. With δ 13 C values of 2-methyltetrols and methylboronic acid predetermined, isotopic fractionation is evaluated for the derivatization process. Through reduplicate δ 13 C measurements, the carbon isotope analysis achieved excellent reproducibility and high accuracy with an average error of
indicators of atmospheric processing of volatile organic compounds; 9 for example, carbon isotope ratio measurements allow the calculation of the extent of photochemical processing of isoprene in the atmosphere. 10 Furthermore, Rudolph et al. 11 developed a gas chromatography/combustion/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS) technique to measure the stable carbon isotope ratios of isoprene and its gas-phase oxidation products, MACR and MVK, and to gain insight into the atmospheric oxidation of isoprene. Very recently, this group has reported studies on the stable carbon kinetic isotope effects (KIE) of the reactions of isoprene, MACR, and MVK with OH radicals, as well as with ozone in the gas phase. 12-14 These data are valuable for obtaining insight into the role of loss processes in determining the atmospheric mixing ratios. However, there are no isotopic studies of isoprene SOA products in the aerosol phase. Methylboronic acid (MBA) has been reported to determine natural 13 C abundances of monosaccharides by derivatizing adjacent hydroxyl groups of monosaccharides followed by N,Obis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) derivatization of the remaining single OH groups. 15,16 Recently, Boschker et al. 17 reported a versatile method for stable carbon isotope analysis of carbohydrates by high-performance liquid chromatography/ isotope ratio mass spectrometry. To develop a compound-specific isotope analysis method for 2-methyltetrols, marker compounds of photooxidation products of isoprene, a technique from our previous work was adapted. 18 MBA was used as the derivatization reagent prior to gas chromatography/combustion/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS). The derivatizing C from the reagent accounts for 29% of the analyte in the boronates, but 70% in the trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives. Therefore, the sensitivity of the MBA method should be high. The oxidation reaction of isoprene, atmospheric sampling, accuracy, and reproducibility of the method will be discussed in detail, and the stable carbon isotope effects during the procedure will be evaluated. δ 13 C data for atmospheric 2-methyltetrols will also be presented to demonstrate the practical utility of this method. EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Materials. Isoprene was obtained from three suppliers: Fluka, Sigma-Aldrich (>98% pure, M1); Alfa-Aesar (Lancaster, England) (99% pure, M2); and Toyo Kasei Kogyo Co. (Osaka, Japan) (99% pure, M3). Hydrogen peroxide (30% in water) was purchased from Guoyao (Shanghai, China). Methylboronic acid (MBA) was (9) Rudolph, J.; Czuba, E. Geophys. Res.

KG (Karlsruhe, Germany) (97% pure) and recrystallized three times from a benzene/acetone mixture (3:1). MBA of the same lot number was used for all derivatizations. Anhydrous pyridine (99% pure) was supplied by Acros Organics (Geel, Belgium). BSTFA [N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide] was purchased from Pierce (Rockford, IL). All solvents employed were HPLC grade. Preparation of Standard 2-Methyltetrols. 2-Methyltetrols were made by photooxidation of isoprene, which we conducted by exposing a 30 mL flask with a mixture of 5 mL of 30% H2O2 and 5 mL of isoprene (0.05 mol, 3.4 g) to sunlight. A few drops of sulfuric acid (0.1 M) was added until the pH of reaction mixture was between 1 and 2. The resulting mixture was then maintained with continuous and vigorous stirring in sunlight for4h; 19 15 mg of barium carbonate was added to 1 mL of the reacted solution for neutralization. After centrifugation, the supernatant was dried, and a slightly yellow oil (2.5 g, 36% yield) was obtained. It worth noting that exposure to sunlight is crucial for the production of 2-methyltetrols. The purification of crude 2-methyltetrols was performed according to a procedure reported by Wang et al. 20 The purity of 2-methyltetrols was verified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) after they had been derivatized with BSTFA, and the δ 13 C value was determined by elemental analyzer/ isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA/IRMS). Derivatization of 2-Methyltetrols. The derivatization technique of 2-methyltetrols with methylboronic acid was adapted from Wang et al.; 18 100 µL of a solution of 2-methyltetrols (approximately 1 mg/mL in methanol) was dried under a gentle nitrogen flow, and then 5 mL of a solution of 1 mg of methylboronic acid in 10 mL of anhydrous pyridine was added. The molar ratio of MBA to 2-methyltetrols was ∼10:1. The mixture was allowed to react at 60 °C for 60 min. It should be noted that the pretreatment of pyridine with 4 Å molecular sieves in excess is crucial for a successful MBA derivatization. The δ 13 C value of methylboronic derivatives was determined by gas chromatography/combustion/isotopic ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/ IRMS). Measurements of the δ 13 C Value of Standard Isoprene. The method for determining the δ 13 C value of isoprene was as follows. 21 Isoprene (1 mL) was sealed in a2mLglass vial with an open screw cap containing a Teflon-lined silica septum. After ∼1 h for equilibrium, 15 µL gas samples from the glass bottle were injected into the split/splitless injection port of the gas chromatograph using a Hamilton gastight locking syringe. Aerosol Sampling. Samples were collected in boreal-temperate Changbai Mountain Forest Ecosystem Research Station in Jilin Province and subtropical Dinghu Mountain Nature Reserve in Guangdong Province. The details for sampling sites have been described previously. 6 The sampling occurred during the summer when the meteorological conditions and the maximum solar radiation, as well as high temperatures, were favorable for the photooxidation of isoprene.
