Abstract
An attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopi c method has been developed for monitoring the epoxidation of indene t o indene oxide. Spectral data on analytes and reaction mixtures were c ollected in the range of 1500-900 cm(-1) and specific spectral regions within this range were selected for quantitative analysis. Experiment al data were processed using the multivariate statistical methods of m ultiple linear regression and partial least squares. Reliable predicti ons of indene and indene oxide levels in complex reaction mixtures wer e successfully achieved as judged by a comparison to high-performance liquid chromatography data.
