High-pressure liquid chromatographic determination of camphor and parachlorophenol in camphorated parachlorophenol

Quantitative analyses of both camphor and parachlorophenol in camphorated parachlorophenol by high-pressure liquid chromatography is described. A 5% solution of phenol in the mobile phase (heptane-chloroform 3:2) served as the internal standard; the assay involved addition of this phenol solution to the camphorated parachlorophenol, followed by further dilution using the mobile phase (heptane-chloroform, 3:2) and injection into the instrument.
