“…The method was recommended for adoption for official use, although further studies of sample preparation and extraction were considered advisable. Hornstein (43) has developed a sulfonation purification procedure which permits the determination of lindane in mushrooms. The sulfonation procedure should prove generally applicable where direct analysis or simple extractions are inadequate.…”

“…Higuchi and Lachman (215) demonstrated the retardation of the hydrolysis of benzocaine with caffeine; benzocaine was determined by conventional spectrophotometry. Lindane has been determined colorimetrically in mushrooms by sulfonation of a methylene chloride extract (220). A method for the determination of Chlorbenside (p-chlorbenzyl pchlorophenyl sulfide) is based on oxidation of Chlorbenside to sulfone with hydrogen peroxide in glacial acetic acid, and nitration to the trinitro derivative, which develops a purple color with sodium methoxide in benzene (213).…”
