I would like to measure the amount of alcohol (or -OH Groups) present in a rather complex sample, mainly consisting of various isomers of C21 hydrocarbons (aliphatic and aromatic) amongst other impurities.
My idea is basically to derivatize present alkohols with BSTFA+TMCS to Si(CH3)3 (m/z = 73) and to analyse the sample in SIM-mode, while scanning for the 73 ion. By that, I hope to obtain an "alcohol chromatogram" of my rather complex sample.
Is this a possible solution for my analysis or are there any better ways to achieve the desired results?
Thanks in advance and best regards
