and Summary A gas Chromatographic method is described for the analysis of tetradecane‐l,4‐sultone (C 14 delta sultone) and the combination of 2‐chlorotetradecane‐1,3‐sultone (C 14 2‐chloro gamma sultone), and 1‐tetradecene‐l,3‐sultone (C 14 unsaturated gamma sultone) in neutral oils isolated from olefin sulfonate. Samples of the neutral oil are diluted in hexane and injected directly into the gas Chromatograph. Quantitative data are obtained by comparison to known amounts of the respective sultones. Through the use of silica gel column chromatography followed by gas chromatography of collected fractions, separation and individual quantitation of the 2‐chlorotetradecane‐1,3 sultone and l‐tetradecene‐l,3‐sultone can be obtained. Routine use for control purposes has shown the method to be reliable and interlaboratory agreement of data has been good.
