Girard reagents facilitate the isolation of carbonyl compounds from their complex mixtures, by generating water-soluble hydrazones. These reagents are sensitive and selective. Girard P reagent is used for the derivatization of oxosteroids to form the corresponding Girard hydrazones, which can be detected by tandem mass spectroscopy or electrospray (ES) mass spectrometry.

General description

Girard Reagents are N-substituted glycine hydrazides. They are classified as Girard-T (trimethylacetylhydrazide ammonium chloride), Girard-P (pyridinioacetohydrazide chloride) and Girard-D (N,N-dimethylglycine hydrazide hydrochloride). Girard hydrazones have a quaternary nitrogen moiety.
