Facile synthesis of magnetic hypercrosslinked polymer for the magnetic solid-phase extraction of benzoylurea insecticides from honey and apple juice samples

In this work, a novel knitting aromatic polymer (KAP) was fabricated for the first time by knitting ferrocene with 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene via Friedel-Crafts reaction, and then the KAP was magnetically functionalized with Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles to produce a magnetic KAP (M-KAP). Combining M-KAP based magnetic solid-phase extraction with high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection, a simple and sensitive method was developed for simultaneous determination of six benzoylurea insecticides (BUs) in honey and apple juice samples. In the optimized conditions, a good linearity for the BUs existed in the range of 1.67–1000 ng g −1 for honey sample and 0.500–100.0 ng mL −1 for apple juice sample. The limits of detection were 0.500–1.50 ng g −1 and 0.150–0.400 ng mL −1 for honey and apple juice sample, respectively. Satisfactory recoveries were in the range of 85.5–105.5% with RSDs ≤ 8.3%. The developed method demonstrated an excellent practicability for sensitive analysis of the BUs.
