A new benzoylation procedure was developed which was more reliable than the most common benzoylation procedures in terms of reaction time, peak resolution, detector response and repeatability. Methylamine, putrescine, cadaverine, tryptamine, beta-phenylethylamine, spermidine, spermine, histamine, tyramine and agmatine were studied.
