The potential of micellar-phase transfer catalysis (MPTC) is shown by derivatization of various carboxylic acids with 9-bromomethylacridine (Br MAC). These carboxylic acids were monitored in the pre-column derivatization mode by fluorescence detection in a completely automated system. The application of the methodology to analysis of the biological sample is shown.
