Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with indirect ultraviolet detection for the separation and quantification of pyrrolidinium ionic liquid cations

A method of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with indirect ultraviolet detection was developed to determine three pyrrolidinium ionic liquid cations, i.e. N-methyl-N-ethyl pyrrolidinium cation ([MEPy]⁺), N-methyl-N-propyl pyrrolidinium cation ([MPPy]⁺) and N-methyl-N-butyl pyrrolidinium cation ([MBPy]⁺). Chromatographic separation was achieved on a hydrophilic column using imidazolium ionic liquids and organic solvents as the mobile phase. The effects of the background ultraviolet absorption reagents, the imidazolium ionic liquids, detection wavelength, organic solvents, column temperature and the pH value of the mobile phase on the separation and determination of pyrrolidinium cations were investigated and the retention behaviors in hydrophilic interaction chromatography were discussed. The optimized chromatographic conditions were selected. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limits (S/N = 3) for [MEPy]⁺, [MPPy]⁺ and [MBPy]⁺ were 0.59, 0.53 and 0.46 mg/L, respectively. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of the three ionic liquids synthesized in our chemistry laboratory. This research results may improve the analytical method of ionic liquid cations.     

Recent progress of task‐specific ionic liquids in chiral resolution and extraction of biological samples and metal ions

Ionic liquids have been functionalized for modern applications. The functional ionic liquids are also called task‐specific ionic liquids. Various task‐specific ionic liquids with certain groups have been constructed and exploited widely in the field of separation. To take advantage of their properties in separation science, task‐specific ionic liquids are generally used in techniques such as liquid–liquid extraction, solid‐phase extraction, gas chromatography, high‐performance liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis. This review mainly covers original research papers published in the last five years, and we will focus on task‐specific ionic liquids as the chiral selectors in chiral resolution and as extractant or sensor for biological samples and metal ion purification.     

Ionic liquids as additives in high performance liquid chromatography: Analysis of amines and the interaction mechanism of ionic liquids

As novel solvents, ionic liquids have many applications in synthesis, catalysis and analytical separation, i.e. extraction and chromatography separation. In this paper, some amines including benzidine, benzylamine, N-ethylaniline and N,N′-dimethylaniline are separated using ionic liquids as additives for the mobile phase in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The effects of the length of alkyl chain or counterions on different ionic liquids and their concentrations on the separation of these analytes are performed. The differences between ionic liquids and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBA) on the separation of o-, m-, p-phthalic acids are compared and the results show that ionic liquids are ion-pair reagents in essence, although their hydrophobicity and hydrogen bonding also play important roles.     

Effects of ionic liquid as additive and the pH of the mobile phase on the retention factors of amino benzoic acids in RP-HPLC

As an organic salt, ionic liquids are widely used as new solvent media. In this paper, three positional isomers, such as o-amino benzoic acid, m-amino benzoic acid, and p-amino benzoic acid are separated with four different ionic liquids as additives to the mobile phase using reversed-phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Amino benzoic acids are biologically active substances; the p-isomer is present in a group of water-soluble vitamins and is widely known as a sunscreen agent. The ionic liquids used are 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate, and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate. The effects of the length of the alkyl group on the imidazolium ring and its counterion, the concentrations of the ionic liquid, and the effect of the pH of the mobile phase on the retention factor of the amino benzoic acid isomers are studied. Separation with the ionic liquid in the eluent was better than the separation without the ionic liquid. The pH mainly affected the retention and elution order of the solutes in RP-HPLC.     

Liquid chromatography and characterization of ether-functionalized imidazolium ionic liquids on mixed-mode reversed-phase/cation exchange stationary phase

A new series [C_nO_mmim]Cl of imidazolium cation-based ionic liquids (ILs), with an ether functional group on the alkyl side-chain, has been prepared. The possibility of analyzing the ionic liquids by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was investigated on mixed-mode reversed/cation exchange stationary phase with the aqueous-acetonitrile mobile phase. Elution parameters, such as retention factor, selectivity and column efficiency, were studied as functions of mobile phase composition and pH. The ILs were characterized by elemental analysis, and infrared, UV and ¹H, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.     

Reduction of silanophilic interactions in liquid chromatography with the use of ionic liquids

A suppression of silanophilic interactions by the selected ionic liquids added to the mobile phase in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is reported. Acetonitrile was used as the eluent, alone or with various concentrations of water and phosphoric buffer pH 3. Selectivity of the normal (NP) and the reversed (RP) stationary phase material was examined using a series of proton-acceptor basic drugs analytes. The ionic liquids studied appeared to significantly affect analyte retention in NP-TLC, RP-TLC and RP-HPLC systems tested. Consequently, the increased separation selectivity was attained. Due to ionic liquid additives to eluent even analytes could be chromatographed, which were not eluted from the silica-based stationary phase materials with 100% of acetonitrile in the mobile phase. Addition of ionic liquid already in very small concentration (0.5%, v/v) could reduce the amount of acetonitrile used during the optimization of basic analytes separations in TLC and HPLC systems. Moreover, the influence of temperature on the separation of basic analytes was demonstrated and considered in practical HPLC method development.     

Preliminary extraction of tannins by 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazole bromide and its subsequent removal from Galla chinensis extract using macroporous resins

In recent years, ionic liquids have become increasingly attractive as ‘green solvents’ used in the extraction of bioactive compounds from natural plant. However, the separation of ionic liquid from the target compounds was difficult, due to their low vapour pressure and high stabilities. In our study, ionic liquid‐based ultrasonic and microwave‐assisted extraction was used to obtain the crude tannins, then the macroporous resin adsorption technology was further employed to purify the tannins and remove the ionic liquid from crude extract. The results showed that XDA‐6 had higher separation efficiency than other tested resins, and the equilibrium experimental data were well fitted to Langmuir isotherms. Dynamic adsorption and desorption were performed on XDA‐6 packed in glass columns to optimise the separation process. The optimum conditions as follows: the ratio of column height to diameter bed was 1:8, flow rate 1 BV/h (bed volume per hour), 85% ethanol was used as eluant while the elution volume was 2 BV. Under the optimised conditions, the adsorption and desoption rate of tannins in XDA‐6 were 94.81 and 91.63%, respectively. The content of tannins was increased from 70.24% in Galla chinensis extract to 85.12% with a recovery of 99.06%. The result of ultra‐performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)‐MS/MS analysis showed that [bmim]Br could be removed from extract.     

Isolation and purification of alkaloids from the fruits of Macleaya cordata by ionic‐liquid‐modified high‐speed counter‐current chromatography

Macleaya cordata (Willd) R. Br. is a medicinal plant. The most important bioactive compounds of M. cordata are alkaloids that have many biological activities including antifungal, anti‐inflammatory, and antitumor. In this study, an ionic‐liquid‐modified high‐speed counter‐current chromatography method was established to obtain alkaloids from the fruits of M. cordata. The conditions of ionic‐liquid‐modified high‐speed counter‐current chromatography, including solvent systems, the content of ionic liquid (1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [C₄mim][BF₄]), and the posttreatment of the ionic liquid, were investigated. Five alkaloids protopine, allocryptopine, sanguinarine, 8‐O‐demethylchelerythrine, and chelerythrine were separated from the extract of the fruits using a high speed counter‐current chromatography with two‐phase solvent system composed of dichloromethane/methanol/0.3 mol/L hydrochloric acid aqueous solution/[C₄mim][BF₄] (4:2:2:0.015, v/v). Their purities were 96.33, 95.56, 97.94, 96.22, and 97.90%, respectively. The results indicated that a small amount of ionic liquids as modifier of the two‐phase solvent system could shorten the separation time and improve the separation efficiency of the alkaloids from the fruits. The ionic‐liquid‐modified high‐speed counter‐current chromatography would provide a feasible way for highly effective separation of alkaloids from natural products.     

Efficient separation of tocopherol homologues in vegetable oil by ionic‐liquid‐based countercurrent chromatography using a non‐aqueous biphasic system

Tocopherol homologues are important fat‐soluble bioactive compounds with high nutritional value. However, it is of great challenge to separate these homologues because of their high structural similarities. In this work, ionic‐liquid‐based countercurrent chromatography was used for the separation and purification of tocopherol homologues. Conventional countercurrent chromatography and ionic‐liquid‐based countercurrent chromatography solvent systems were evaluated in respect of partition coefficient, separation factor, and stationary phase retention factor to separate these targets. Kind of ionic liquids, amount of ionic liquid, and sample amount were systematically optimized. A novel countercurrent chromatography non‐aqueous biphasic system composed of n‐hexane‐methanol‐1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride was established. The baseline separation of tocopherol mixtures was obtained in one cycle process. The ionic liquid played a key role in the countercurrent chromatography separation, which resulted in difference of partition behavior of individual tocopherol in the whole system through different hydrogen‐bonding affinity. Finally, n‐hexane‐methanol‐1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride (5:5:3, v/v) water‐free biphasic system was successfully applied to separate tocopherol homologues from vegetable oil that was not achieved beforehand. This method can be widely employed to separate many similar molecules such as tocotrienols, tocomonoenols, and marine‐derived tocopherol in food samples.     

Behavior of peptides and computer-assisted optimization of peptides separations in a normal-phase thin-layer chromatography system with and without the addition of ionic liquid in the eluent

The addition of an ionic liquid into the mobile phase appeared to be useful in optimization of chromatographic separation of peptides. Different behavior of peptides in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was observed after addition of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetra fluoroborate to the eluent in comparison to the system without the ionic liquid. Nonlinear dependence of the retention coefficient, R(M), of peptides on the volume percentage of acetonitrile in the eluent was found in normal-phase TLC with and without immidazolium tetra fluoroborate in the mobile phase. In general, R(M) increased with increasing concentration of acetonitrile. In TLC systems without the ionic liquid, R(M) can be described well with a quadratic function. On the other hand, in a TLC system with an ionic liquid as the additive to the mobile phase, the retention behavior is better described with a third-degree polynomial function. The potential usefulness of ionic liquids for optimization of separation of peptides was demonstrated. Optimization of the separation conditions was supported by a commercially available computer program.
