An analytical method for the quantitative determination of meptyldinocap (2,4-DNOPC) as 2,4-dinitrooctylphenyl (2,4-DNOP) in mango and soil was developed as well as validated using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The method comprised an extraction with an acetone:methanol:4 N HCl (100:10:5, v/v/v) mixture followed by hydrolytic conversion of parent 2,4-DNOPC to the corresponding phenol metabolite (2,4-DNOP), and cleanup was done by liquid:liquid partition using ethyl acetate. Final quantitation was performed by LC-MS/MS of 2,4-DNOP with negative electrospray ionization using gradient elution. The method was validated at concentrations ranging from 0.025 to 2 mu g/g, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) of meptyldinocap in mango and soil samples was 0.025 mu g/g. The recovery of meptyldinocap from mango and soil sample was found to be 93-98% spiked at different levels with analyte, and the relative standard deviation for repeatability (RSD(r)) and reproducibility (RSD(R)) were acceptable (2-6%). The method was rugged as evident from a low measurement uncertainty at 0.05 mu g/g. In order to evaluate its safety use in India a multilocational field dissipation study on meptyldinocap in mango was conducted by following the proposed analytical method.
