Determination of amines by using a chemiluminescent reaction in solution.
The chemiluminescence emission produced by the oxidation of alkylamines by benzoyl peroxide has been used to determine up to ca. 0.5 mumole/ml of aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines in chloroform or acetone. The emission intensity is decreased with increasing age and water content of the solvent.
