Abstract:
A spectrophotometric method for determination of 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde and hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde was developed. This procedure is based on the reaction of carbonyl compounds with the selective derivatization reagent Purpald® in alkaline solution. The product of reaction is a colored compound with maximum absorption at 538 nm. The linear relationship is in the range of (2.5-30) × 10-5 mol·l-1 for 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde and (2.0-20) × 10-5 mol·l-1 for hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde. The proposed method was successfully used for determination of hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde in a cosmetic product.
