According to the present invention, phenols may be detected using an electrochemical sensor comprising a first compound, a working electrode and an electrolyte in contact with the working electrode, wherein the first compound operatively undergoes a redox reaction at the working electrode to form a second compound which operatively reacts in situ with the phenol, wherein said redox reaction has a detectable redox couple and wherein the sensor is adapted to determine the electrochemical response of the working electrode to the consumption of said second compound on reaction with the phenol. The phenol may be, for example, a cannabinoid or a catechin compound. 123.-. (canceled)24. A method of detecting a phenol in a sample , comprising:(a) oxidising a first compound at a working electrode of an electrochemical sensor to form a second compound which is operatively reactive with the phenol;(b) contacting the phenol with the second compound in the presence of an electrolyte, such that the second compound reacts with the phenol; and(c) determining an electrochemical response of the working electrode to the consumption of the second compound on reaction with the phenol;wherein the first compound in step (a) is a 4-aminophenol, and wherein the second compound reacts to covalently bind the phenol in step (b).25.
