The structure analysis of benzoic medicines by Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy and generalized two dimensional correlation spectroscopy was performed. Three kinds of medicines showed unconspicuous changes in one-dimensional near infrared spectra, while the two dimensional correlation spectra showed high resolution, and were more explicable. By the comparison and analysis of raw near infrared spectra and 2D-correlation spectra, the near infrared absorption peaks of benzoic acid medicines were assigned, and their structure characteristics were analyzed, the results affirmed the six-membered ring intramolecular hydrogen bond especially. The study is helpful to the in-depth understanding of benzoic medicines, and provides information for the future study and utilization of benzoic medicines.
