Oxygen-containing functional groups (hydroxyl and carboxyl) in fuels or crude oils, or fractions thereof, are determined by IR spectroscopy. The approach is based on chemical derivatization followed by measurement of IR bands of the corresponding derivatives. The chemical derivatization procedure involves two steps: (1) esterification of carboxylic acids with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and (2) acylation of alcoholic and phenolic hydroxyls with trifluoroacetyl chloride. The aryl trifluoroacetates absorb at 1,800 cm{sup {minus}1}; the 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl esters absorb in the region 1,760-1,740 cm{sup {minus}1}. Variation of molar absorptivity of the derivatives as a function of structure is determined by using pure compounds and well-defined fractions from actual fuel samples. The overall accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and range of applicability to petroleum and related sample types are discussed.
