Summary
C1−C22 carboxylic acids have been esterified in aqueous solution with n-propanol. Gas chromatographic analyses have been performed from a single chromatogram. It has been proven that esterification in the concentration range of [H2O]/[n-PrOH]=0.022–8.45 can be utilized for the quantitative determination of these carboxylic acids.
The presence of water does not interfere in the range of [H2O]/[n-PrOH]=0.22–1.27.
In the cases of [H2O]/[n-PrOH]>1.27, anhydrous sodium sulfate has been used for binding the water, in an amount of [Na2SO4 anh.]/[H2O]>0.7.
