A newly developed method for determining three phenoxy acids and one carbamate herbicide in water and soil samples using gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection is developed. Phenoxy acids are derivatized through a condensation reaction with a suitable aromatic amine. 1,1-Carbonyldiimidazole is used as a condensation reagent. Derivatization conditions are optimized with respect to the amount of analyte, amine, solvent, and derivatization reagent. The optimum derivatization yield is accomplished in acetonitrile. 4-Methoxy aniline is used as a derivatizing agent. Obtained derivatives are stable indefinitely. Enhancement in sensitivity is achieved by using the single-ion monitoring mass spectrometric mode. The effectiveness of the developed method is tested by determining investigated compounds in water and soil samples. Analytes are concentrated from water samples using liquid-phase extraction and solid-phase extraction. Soil samples are extracted using methanol. Detection limits of 1.00, 50.00, 100.00, and 1.00 ng/mL are obtained for 2-(1-methylethoxy)phenyl methylcarbamate (Baygon), 2-(3-chlorophenoxy)-propionic acid (Cloprop), 2,4,5- trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and 4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)butyric acid, respectively. LPE for spiked water samples yields recoveries in the range of 60.6–95.7%, with relative standard deviation (RSD) values of 1.07–7.85% using single component calibration curves. Recoveries of 44.8–275.5%, with RSD values ranging from 1.43% to 8.61% were obtained using a mixed component calibration curves. SPE from water samples and soil samples showed low recoveries. The reason is attributed to the weak sorption capabilities of soil and Al 2 O 3 .
