Diastereoselective and enantioselective chromatography of the pyrethroid insecticides allethrin and cypermethrin

Summary Liquid and gas chromatographic separations of the pyrethroid insecticides allethrin and cypermethrin have been investigated with various achiral and chiral stationary phases. Diastercomeric and enantiomeric selectivity was observed for cypermethrin on a Pirkle-type chiral LC stationary phase, but very strong interactions and therefore long retention times prevented the separation of allethrin on this phase. Trans-allethrin isomers were separated on a chiral -cyclodextrin RP-HPLC column while cypermethrin showed some difficulties on this phase due to isomerization. Diastereomeric but no enantiomeric selectivity by GC was achieved for cypermethrin with an apolar DB 5 capillary. GC separation of the diastereomers was used to study the selective photodegradation of cypermethrin isomers after forestry applications. Chiral -cyclodextrin-based GC phases showed some enantioselectivity for cis- and trans-allethrin isomers. A separation of the eight isomers into six partially resolved peaks was achieved by GC with a coupled column consisting of chiral permethylated -cyclodextrin and DB 1701 as stationary phases. This combination was used to characterize allethrin formulations intended for indoor use and to investigate allethrin products formed by ozonolysis of thin films of the insecticide.     

Retention on mixed cyclodextrin/polysiloxane stationary phases in capillary GC—Evidence for the interaction of cyclodextrin and polysiloxane

The dependence of the retention on stationary phases consisting of mixtures of a cyclodextrin (perpentyl-β-cyclodextrin) and a polysiloxane (cyanopropyl-7%-, phenyl-7%-methyl-86%-or OV-1701) was investigated as function of the cyclodextrin concentration. In order to study the effect of mixing, the data on the mixed stationary phases were compared with those obtained on pure OV-1701 and perpentylated β-CD and on coupled columns, individually coated with the pure phases. The validity of the retention model proposed in the literature by Schurig and co-workers was checked. Deviation from linearity was observed for some racemates. A possible explanation of the deviation is presented and a more general retention model on mixed cyclodextrin-polysiloxane phases is proposed.     

Characterization,evaluation and in-situ cross-linking of new polar phases in capillary gas chromatography

Summary The possibilities of OV-1701 and RSL-310, two new stationary phases, have been evaluated for capillary gas chromatography in fused silica columns. OV-1701 is a cyanopropylphenyldimethyl polysiloxane of moderate polarity possessing excellent chromatographic characteristics. The phase exhibits high coating and chromatographic efficiencies, high temperature stability and is suitable for cross-linking. RSL-310 is a polar liquid stationary phase yet to be permanently bonded in a capillary column. The selectivity of both phases extends the applicability of fused silica columns.Presented at the 14th International Symposium on Chromatography London, September, 1982     

Chemometric study of retention on binary stationary phases in gas chromatography

Using gas chromatography, data analysis is performed on a dataset consisting of 486 retention indices, 27 standards (ramified alkanes, aliphatic alcohols, and aromatic compounds), 6 pure and binary stationary phases, and three temperatures. The behavior of the pure stationary phases (OV-3, OV-225, OV-61-OH, and OV-1701-OH) and the binary stationary phases (OV-3/OV-225 and OV-61-OH/OV-1701-OH) at different temperatures (60°C-100°C) is investigated with factor and topological analysis. The influence of temperature and the nature of the mixed stationary phases on the retention indices is studied by correspondence factor analysis (CFA). The non-additivity of the retention properties of the pure phases used as mixed phases is clearly established by CFA. The topological analysis of the substituent's effect is investigated with a DARC/PELCO procedure and shows the particular influence of the stationary phase composition on the retention. The substituent effect is measured for the pure and binary stationary phases at various temperatures. The evolution of the substituent effect from the pure stationary phases to the binary phases is discussed.     

Retention behavior of the inclusion complexes of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with β-cyclodextrin

Summary The retention behaviour of a group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons having nearly equal ionization potentials but different molecular polarizability values was investigated by reversed-phase HPLC and gas chromatography, using -cyclodextrin as a selective inclusion reagent. In HPLC, the cyclodextrin was applied as an additive to the ethanolwater binary mobile phase, while in gas chromatography -cyclodextrin served as the stationary phase coated on an inert support. The relationships between the capacity factors, molecular polarizabilities and the shape parameter of solute molecules is discussed.     

Chiral separation on achiral stationary phases with different functionalities using β-cyclodextrin in the mobile phase and application to bioanalysis and coupled columns

Summary -cyclodextrin was used in the mobile phase as chiral selector for separating the enantiomers of terbutaline, chlorthalidone and oxazepam. The effect on chiral resolution using e.g. hydrophobic, polar or cation exchanging stationary phases was investigated. Both the chiral separation factor and retention level were affected by the concentration of methanol and -cyclodextrin. The stationary phase had no effect on the chiral separation only on the level of retention. By tuning the concentration of -cyclodextrin and methanol in the mobile phase chiral separation could be obtained on most stationary phases. By changing the stationary phase while adjusting the mobile phase composition to maintain the chiral selectivity, improvements of the selectivity towards e.g. endogenous compounds can be obtained when separating enantiomers in complex matrixes as biological fluids. Further improvement on selectivity can be obtained if coupled columns are used. This is examplified for separation of chlorthalidone and terbutaline enantiomers in biological fluids by coupling an achiral column to another achiral column and using a mobile phase containing -cyclodextrin on the last column.     

Acylation of stereoisometric 2-butenes with cationoid complexes

Conclusions Acylation of the 2-butene isomers with acyl salts can lead either to the formation of , -unsaturated ketones or of conjugate addition products.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1803–1806, August, 1976.     

Gas chromatographic study of reversible adduct formation between nucleophilic solutes and stationary phases containing lanthanide β-diketonates

Summary Complex formation between fluorinated and methylated -diketonates of praseodymium and europium, dissolved in a polydimethylsiloxane stationary phase, and aliphatic alcohols, methyl ketones, methyl ethers and carboxylic acid methyl esters has been studied. Investigations were carried out isothermally in the range 90 to 130°C. An increase in retention values measured on the complexing stationary phase for the test solutes was the primary observation. Equilibrium constants (K) of adduct formation were determined from retention data. It was established that fluorinated lanthanide -diketonates enhance adduct formation more selectively than the corresponding methyl compounds. Decrease in the ionic radii from praseodymium to europium gave rise to increased K values.     

HPLC determination of carotenoids in human serum by gradient elution technique

Summary Polarities of the carotenoids in human serum are very different; many nonpolar carotenoid hydrocarbons (e.g. -carotene, lycopene) and highly polar hydroxycarotenoids (e. g. -cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, lutein) can be found among them.Gradient elution chromatography was used for the separation of -carotene, lycopene, -cryptoxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin in serum samples applying amino and cyano packings (Chromsil-NH₂, Chromsil-CN). The effects of different stationary phases on the selectivity were compared. The method is particularly suitable for the direct determination of serum levels of carotenoid in serum extracts.     

Separation of Enantiomers of Isochromene Derivatives by HPLC Using Cyclodextrin-Based Stationary Phases

Twenty chiral isochromene derivatives have been chromatographed on native and derivatized cyclodextrin stationary phases using HPLC. The most effective CSPs for the enantioresolution of these analytes in the reverse phase mode are the hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond RSP), the 2,3-dimethyl--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond DM), and the -cyclodextrin (Cyclobond II) stationary phases. The -cyclodextrin (Cyclobond III), -cyclodextrin (Cyclobond I), acetyl--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond AC), S-1-naphthylethyl carbamate--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond SN), and 3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond DMP) stationary phases also show enantioselectivities for some analytes. No enantioseparations were observed in the polar organic mode and only a few separations were found in the normal phase mode. The Cyclobond RSP CSP provided the best overall separations of these analytes in the reverse phase mode. The pH of the mobile phase and the nature of organic modifiers have little effect on the enantioresolution. The substituents on the isochromene ring greatly affect the chiral recognition.
