β¦ Synopsis
A derwatlzatlon method followed by hquld chromatography (LC) IS described for the determmatlon of the glucocortlcold eplmers of betamethasone and dexamethasone The method 1s based on the dertvatlzatlon of the eplmers with 1-ethoxy-4-(dlchloro-s-trlazmyl)naphthalene m acetomtrde, usmg potassmm carbonate as a base catalyst The resultmg denvatwes were readdy separated by normal-phase LC Several parameters that affect the derwatlzatlon are dlscussed The method IS feasible for the determmatlon of betamethasone and dexamethasone m tablets

## Abstract Betamethasone and dexamethasone are two corticosteroids differing in the stereoisomery of their Cβ16 methyl group. These two compounds are imperfectly separated by reversedβphase liquid chromatography and their mass spectra are very similar, leading to a difficult unambiguous identifica
