A new method was developed for its quantification usingin situ derivatization with 2,6-dimethyl-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester followed by dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) and high-performance liquid chromatography/fluorescence analysis. Multivariate chemometric techniques were successfully used to obtain the optimum conditions for direct derivatization and DLLME extraction. Derivatization parameters and DLLME extraction conditions were optimized by a two-step design, 2k factorial design for screening, and central composite design for optimization. Best derivatization conditions were addition of 600?L of derivatizing reagent, a temperature of 4ºC, and pH 8.5, whereas for optimum extraction 800?L of solvent, 30% NaCl conc. w/v, and pH 3.8 were chosen. The analytical performance of the method for routine analysis was evaluated. Excellent linearity was achieved from 10 to 200?gL -1with a correlation factor of 0.9996. Precision ranged from 3.5% to 5.5% for intraday assays and 8.5% to 8.6% for interday assays. The mean recoveries performed on water from different origins (ground, river,sea, tap, and mineral) at three levels of concentration (20, 75, and 200?gL-1) ranged from 90.2% to 110.2%. amicroextraction aAnálise quimiométrico aChemometric analyses aCyanamide aDerivazação in situ aDispersão líquido-líquido aDispersive liquid-liquid aIn situ derivatization aMicroextração1 aMELO, A.1 aPINHO, C.1 aCONEGLIAN, R.
