Abstract

A  simple,  fast  and  accurate  method  has  been  developed  for  the  estimation of  benzene content  in  Lovastatin  by  Gas  Chromatography.  The analysis was carried out on Perkin Elmer Clarus 600 GC-HS Chromatograph. The column used was DB-624 30m X 0.32 mm X 1.8 µm fused silica analytical column (6%  cyanopropylphenyl  94 %  dimethylpolysiloxane  as  a stationary  phase).The  detector  used  was  FID  detector.
