A primary alcohol adjacent to an aromatic ring is activated toward oxidation because the ring stabilises the intermediate. Two steps remove four hydrogens: alcohol to aldehyde, aldehyde to acid. Both products are more water-soluble than the parent, and benzoic acid lowers the pH of the unbuffered solution slightly. The reaction is the same one that makes old benzyl alcohol smell of almonds.
It is also the first step of the metabolic pathway, performed there by enzymes.
Oxygen in the headspace and dissolved in the water; ultraviolet light, which generates radicals; and metal ions, which catalyse. A full, sealed, dark vial has little of the first, none of the second and, in Type I glass, almost none of the third. An opened vial admits air with each entry.
This is the reason behind the storage line on the pack.
Gas chromatography resolves benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde and benzoic acid readily; liquid chromatography does the same. The monograph for benzyl alcohol as a raw material sets limits on these related substances, and the finished water is tested for preservative content. A product within specification has very little of either.
