Abstract
A method is proposed for the determination of alcohols and phenols based on their derivatization to benzoates and gas chromatography-gas phase molecular absorption spectrometry. All parameters affecting the derivatization reaction, such as the solvent, basic medium, benzoyl chloride and stirring time, were optimized. Chromatographic and instrumental conditions were also studied. Finally, a calibration study was performed and the results were compared to that obtained by the direct determination of the compounds.
