High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Benzoic Anhydride.
Benzoic Anhydride is the more active analogue of benzoic acid formed via dehydration. It has the chemical formula C14H10O3 . Benzoic anhydride is used as a benzoylating agent in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, intermediates and dyes. It is considered the simplest symmetrical aromatic acid anhydride.
Benzoic Anhydride can be retained in HPLC on Newcrom R1 reverse-phase column with the simple isocratic mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile (MeCN), water and detected by UV, ELSD, CAD or LC/MS.
