Glass capillary gas chromatography of amino acid enantiomers

Glass capillaries coated with Chirasil-Val, a chirally functionalised polysiloxane, are capable in principle of resolving all protein amino-acid enantiomers in a single run and within a short analysis time, thus allowing for example the quantitative amino acid determination by enantiomer labelling. The elution characteristics of the individual amino acids however are also dependent upon the chemical nature of the capillary wall surface, and a surface pretreatment is found to be necessary if all protein amino acids are to be analysed. Of the various methods of pretreatment tested, etching of borosilicate glass with gaseous HCl followed by deposition of colloidal silicic acid is considered to be the most suitable.     

A unique reversal of elution order during direct enantiomeric resolution of amide derivatives of 1-phenyl-2-aminopropane by high performance liquid chromatography on chiral stationary phases

Enantiomeric amide derivatives of (S)- and (R)-1-phenyl-2-aminopropane (dextro- and levoamphetamine, respectively) were resolved by high performance liquid chromatography on commercially available ionically and covalently bonded chiral stationary phases ((R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)phenylglycine). Ten enantiomeric amide pairs were synthesized and chromatographed on the columns by using a mobile phase of hexane-isopropanol (97 : 3), a flow rate of 2 ml/min, and a column temperature of 20°C. The (R)-isomer of all 10 amides eluted first on the covalent column as did the (R)-isomer of nine derivatives on the ionic column. however, the 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl amide of (S)- amphetamine eluted before the (R)-isomer on the ionic column. This reversal in enantiomeric elution order reveals the complexity of the interactions occurring on these columns and emphasizes the hazards of relying on observed elution order as an a priori indication of absolute configuration.

Activation of trisacryl gels with chloroformates and their use for affinity chromatography and protein immobilization

In this study we describe the activation with chloroformates of Trisacryl-GF-2000, a new synthetic gel support that is stable, hydrophilic, and contains large amounts of hydroxyl groups available for activation. Of all the reagents tested, the activation withN-hydroxysuccinimide-chloroformate andp-nitrophenylchloroformate in organic solvents provides the best activation yield and subsequent coupling. When Trisacryl was activated in acetone with the chloroformates in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine as base and catalyst, up to 30% of the hydroxyl groups, (i.e., 1/repeating unit) could be activated. Amino-containing ligands and proteins could be coupled to these carriers at pH 8 or higher. For better results in affinitychromatographic applications, spacers of ε-amino caproic acid or diaminohexane were introduced. The efficacy of these columns was demonstrated by purification of enzymes, antibodies, and antigens. The performance of these new columns were compared with that of Sepharose columns activated in various ways. In every case, the properties of the Trisacryl support proved superior with particular reference to the purity of the product obtained.     

Structure elucidation of triglycerides by chromatographic techniques. Part 1: Capillary GC of ozonized triglycerides

Structure determination of triglycerides according to their number of unsaturated fatty acids (N.U.F.A.) is more easily achieved after ozonolysis of their mixtures (fats and oils) than by capillary gas chromatographic analysis of the mixture as such. Analyses performed before and after ozonolysis of cocoa buttel, hazelnut oil, and a mixture of both fats illustrate the potential of this approach to the structure elucidation of triglycerides by chromatographic techniques.     

Defect clusters and precipitation/oxidation of MgO-Co1−xO solid solution

MgO and Co_1−xO powders in 9:1 and 1:9 molar ratio (denoted as M₉C₁ and M₁C₉, respectively) were sintered and homogenized at 1600°C followed by annealing at 850°C and 800°C, respectively to form defect clusters and precipitates. Analytical electron microscopic observations indicated the protoxide remained as rock salt structure with complicated planar diffraction contrast for M₉C₁ sample, however with spinel paracrystal precipitated from the M₁C₉ sample due to the assembly of charge- and volume-compensating defects of the 4:1 type, i.e., four octahedral vacant sites surrounding one Co³⁺-filled tetrahedral interstitial site. The spacing of such defect clusters is 4.5 times the lattice spacing of the average spinel structure of Mg-doped Co_3−δO₄, indicating a higher defect cluster concentration than undoped Co_3−δO₄. The {111} faulting of Mg-doped Co_3−δO₄/Co_1−xO in the annealed M₁C₉ sample implies the possible presence of zinc blend-type defect clusters with cation vacancies assembled along oxygen close packed (111) plane.

Biamperometric neutralisation titrations in non-aqueous solvents applying tin electrode pair for the end-point detection

Summary Tertiary amines and salts of organic acids in acetic anhydride with 5% of acetic acid were titrated applying a biamperometric indicating system consisting of a polarised or unpolarised pair of tin electrodes by means of 0.1 N perchloric acid in glacial acetic acid. Amounts of 15.4–29.8 mg were analysed with average deviations of <0.6%, the results obtained being in a good agreement with those of potentiometry. The biamperometric end-point detection using an indicating system of polarised pair of tin electrodes can be applied for coulometric determinations of these bases with satisfying accuracy. By means of anodic generation of hydrogen ions in the presence of hydroquinone amounts of 0.5–1.0 mg were titrated with average deviations of < 1.3%. The results obtained were compared with those obtained of catalytic thermometric and photometric titrations.

Zusammenfassung Tertiäre Amine und Salze organischer Säuren werden in Acetanhydrid mit 5% Essigsäure durch Titration mit einer 0,1 N Lösung von Perchlorsäure in Essigsäure bestimmt. Das verwendete biamperometrische Indicatorsystem besteht aus einem Paar polarisierter oder nichtpolarisierter Zinnelektroden. Mengen von 15,4–29,8 mg wurden mit einer mittleren Abweichung von <0,6% analysiert. Die Ergebnisse stimmen gut mit denen von potentiometrischen Titrationen überein. Die biamperometrische Endpunkttechnik mit polarisierten Zinnelektroden kann für coulometrische Bestimmungen dieser Basen mit zufriedenstellender Genauigkeit benutzt werden. Durch anodische Erzeugung von Wasserstoffionen in Gegenwart von Hydrochinon wurden Mengen von 0,5–1,0 mg mit einer mittleren Abweichung von < 1,3% titriert. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit denen von katalytisch-thermometrischen und photometrischen Titrationen verglichen.
