## Abstract A method to detect short‐chain α‐hydroxyaldehydes in mammalian tissues is described. Aldehydes or their masked precursor molecules are converted into dithiolane derivatives. These are separated by thin‐layer chromatography and registered by multiple ion monitoring after trimethylsilylat

✦ Synopsis
Pentafluorbenzyloxime derivatization allows fast, gentle and unambiguous identification of ~-hydroxyaldehydic lipid peroxidation products via GC/MS in biological material. Even 1.5 g of a bovine liver sample is sufficient to detect short-chain 2-hydroxyalkanales resulting from cleavage reactions of dioxygenated fatty acids. Quantification is achieved after secondary derivatization with N-methyl-N-t-butyldimethylsilyltrifluoracetamide (M-t-BSTFA) by mass spectrometry using characteristic ion traces of the derivatives. In addition, the corresponding (n-1)-hydroxy-n-oxo acids, previously unknown in biological material, could be detected.
