✦ Synopsis

We present an assay for 2,3-butanediol by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of its trimethylsilyl ethers. 2R,3R- and/or 2S,3S-2,3-butanediol and meso-2,3-butanediol are quantitated with corresponding internal standards of [2,3-2H2]butanediol. Limits of detection are 1 and 0.1 microM for split and splitless injections, respectively. Blood concentrations of 2,3-butanediol in nonalcoholics are 0.5 +/- 0.3 (SD) microM for 2R,3R- and/or 2S,3S-2,3-butanediol and 0.8 +/- 0.4 microM for meso-2,3-butanediol (n = 9). Two hours after alcohol ingestion, blood levels had risen in eight of nine subjects to 1.2 +/- 0.7 microM for 2R,3R-/2S,3S-2,3-butanediol and to 1.2 +/- 0.6 microM for meso-2,3-butanediol. Baseline urinary excretion of 2,3-butanediol is 0.4 +/- 0.2 mumol/mmol creatinine for 2R,3R-/2S,3S-2,3-butanediol and 0.9 +/- 0.5 mumol/mmol creatinine for meso-2,3-butanediol.
