J. Rolfes et Jt. Andersson, DETERMINATION OF TRACE AMOUNTS OF ALCOHOLS AND PHENOLS IN COMPLEX-MIXTURES AS FERROCENECARBOXYLIC ACID-ESTERS WITH GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY ATOMIC-EMISSION DETECTION, Analytical communications, 33(12), 1996, pp. 429-432
A method for the derivatization of phenols and alcohols with ferrocene
carboxylic acid chloride to the corresponding esters is described, The
esters are separated by capillary GC and detected by atomic emission
in the iron-selective mode, thus ensuring detection limits of 150 fmol
injected and high selectivity over non-iron-containing compounds, A c
rude oil (Brent, North Sea) is used as an example, without any sample
preparation before the derivatization, and is shown to contain approxi
mately 1 mu mol phenols g(-1).
