Capillary electrochromatography of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone derivatives of some mono-and disaccharides

Summary A packing procedure was adopted for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) that produces capillary columns with high separation efficiencies. The columns were fully packed, 50 cm long, with UV detection being performed through the packed section 30 cm from the inlet end. The CEC experiments were run at ambient pressure, with no additional pressure applied to the ends of the column. The stationary phase (octadecyl silica (ODS), 5 μm) promoted a high velocity electroosmotic flow (EOF), enabling rapid and efficient separation of a hydrocarbon test mixture. Some 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) derivatives of mono- and disaccharides were baseline separated, using a 5 mM NaH₂PO₄ in 80% acetonitrile and 20% water (v/v) buffer solution. CEC shows promise for future applications in carbohydrate analysis. Presented at Balaton Symposium on High Performance Separation Methods, Siófok, Hungary, September 1–3, 1999

Novel β-cyclodextrin derivative functionalized polymethacrylate-based monolithic columns for enantioselective separation of ibuprofen and naproxen enantiomers in capillary electrochromatography

A novel enantioselective polymethacrylate-based monolithic column for capillary electrochromatography was prepared by ring-opening reaction of epoxy groups from poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith with a novel β-cyclodextrin derivative bearing 4-dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalimide functionalities. Conditions for the ring-opening reaction with respect to different reaction parameters were thoroughly optimized to obtain high electroosmotic flow, separation efficiency and enantioselectivity for the analytes. The nonaqueous mobile phase composition regarding acetonitrile–methanol ratio and the concentration of electrolyte were examined to manipulate the hydrophobic inclusion and anion-exchange interaction between the analytes and chiral stationary phase. It was observed that in addition to β-cyclodextrin cavity, the electrostatic interaction exhibited pronounced influence on the enantioseparation of acidic analytes. Acidic enantiomers (ibuprofen and naproxen) could be separated with separation factor (α) values up to 1.08 and a maximum separation efficiency of 86 000 plates/m could be achieved.     

Analyses of synthetic antioxidants by capillary electrochromatography using poly(styrene-divinylbenzene-lauryl methacrylate) monolith

In this study, several organic polymer-based monoliths prepared by single step in situ copolymerization of styrene- and methacrylate ester-based monomers (styrene (S), divinylbenzene (DVB) and lauryl methacrylate (LMA)) were developed as stationary phases of capillary electrochromatography (CEC) for the analyses of synthetic antioxidants. These monoliths were characterized by examining the SEM image, IR spectrum, and measuring the pore size, surface area, conversion yield, and thermal decomposition temperature. The polymerization procedure was optimized by varying the reaction temperature, the reaction time, and the LMA-styrene ratio. The LMA-styrene ratio had the most significant influence on the peak symmetry of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and 2, 6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl phenol (BHT), the latter being greatly affected by excessive peak tailing in the poly(S-DVB) monolith. It showed that the interaction between the poly(S-DVB) monolith and the antioxidant (BHT or BHA) was significantly altered by the insertion of LMA. Compared with the best HPLC and CE methods previously reported, this proposed CEC method provides a comparable separation ability for the five antioxidants analyzed. This study demonstrates that the potentiality of poly(S-DVB-LMA) monolith as stationary phase, especially for CEC system, because of high thermal stability and good column reproducibility.     

Adamantyl-functionalized polymer monolith for capillary electrochromatography

An adamantyl (ADM)-functionalized monolithic stationary phase was newly synthesized by a single-step copolymerization of 1-adamantyl-(α-trifluoromethyl) acrylate, ethylene dimethacrylate, and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid in order to prevent the peak tailing of basic solutes in capillary electrochromatography and was compared with butyl methacrylate (BMA)-based one. The ADM structure shields the negatively charged groups on the surface of monolith from basic solutes, resulting in better peak shapes than BMA-based monolithic stationary phase. As the monomers ratio decreased, the monolithic column had lower retention and higher column efficiency which was likely due to lower phase ratio and smaller globule size of monolith, respectively. The ADM-functionalized monolithic columns exhibited a good repeatability and reproducibility of column preparation with relative standard deviation values below 9% in the studied chromatographic parameters.     

Metal organic framework–organic polymer monolith stationary phases for capillary electrochromatography and nano-liquid chromatography

In this study, metal organic framework (MOF)–organic polymer monoliths prepared via a 5-min microwave-assisted polymerization of ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA), butyl methacrylate (BMA), and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) with the addition of various weight percentages (30–60%) of porous MOF (MIL-101(Cr)) were developed as stationary phases for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) and nano-liquid chromatography (nano-LC). Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms of these MOF–organic polymer monoliths showed the presence of the inherent characteristic peaks and the nano-sized pores of MIL-101(Cr), which confirmed an unaltered crystalline MIL-101(Cr) skeleton after synthesis; while energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and micro-FT-IR spectra suggested homogenous distribution of MIL-101(Cr) in the MIL-101(Cr)–poly(BMA–EDMA) monoliths. This hybrid MOF–polymer column demonstrated high permeability, with almost 800-fold increase compared to MOF packed column, and efficient separation of various analytes (xylene, chlorotoluene, cymene, aromatic acids, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and trypsin digested BSA peptides) either in CEC or nano-LC. This work demonstrated high potentials for MOF–organic polymer monolith as stationary phase in miniaturized chromatography for the first time.     

Analyses of sulfonamide antibiotics in meat samples by on-line concentration capillary electrochromatography-mass spectrometry

In this work, a series of poly(divinylbenzene-alkyl methacrylate) monolithic stationary phases, which were prepared by single step in situ polymerization of divinylbenzene and various alkyl methacrylates (butyl-, octyl-, lauryl- or stearyl methacrylate), were developed as separation columns of nine common sulfonamide antibiotics for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). Results indicated that the sulfonamide's retention became weak with increased carbon chain length of alkyl methacrylate monomer (for example, t(R)=68 min and 21 min for butyl- and lauryl methacrylate, respectively). Among them, the poly(divinylbenzene-octyl methacrylate) (poly(DVB-OMA)) monolith was regarded as the optimal separation column as this provided better resolution within the shortest retention time. Moreover, the cross-sectional roughness of the monolithic column-end, that was used to couple to the ESI interface, strongly influenced the electrospray stability in the CEC-MS. Before the column was connected to the ESI-MS, a simple polishing was done to reduce the roughness of the column end that resulted to a great improvement in the signal stability. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the peak areas for the unpolished and polished ends of the poly(DVB-OMA) columns (n=5) were in the range of 46.1-60.2% and 8.9-16.4%, respectively. Furthermore, optimization of the mobile phase composition and the gradient elution strategy successfully determined the sulfonamide antibiotics in meat samples with as low as 10 μg/L level.     

Fast preparation of photopolymerized poly(benzyl methacrylate-co-bisphenol A dimethacrylate) monoliths for capillary electrochromatography

A novel porous polymer monolith was prepared in situ in a fused-silica capillary using photoinitiated polymerization. Bisphenol A dimethacrylate (BPADMA) was selected as a crosslinker, copolymerized with benzyl methacrylate (BMA) in the presence of a binary porogenic solvent consisting of cyclohexanol and 1-decanol in ≤10 min. The resulting poly(BMA-co-BPADMA) monoliths exhibited good permeability and mechanical stability. Mixtures of alkylbenzenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or phenolic compounds were successfully separated by CEC. A similar monolith was also prepared with ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) as the crosslinker instead of BPADMA to compare the separation ability of the resulting monoliths. The results indicated that poly(BMA-co-BPADMA) monoliths have better selectivity for aromatic analytes and greater chromatographic stability in higher aqueous mobile phase.     

Anion exchange silica monolith for capillary liquid chromatography

An anion exchange monolithic silica capillary column was prepared by surface modification of a hybrid monolithic silica capillary column prepared from a mixture of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS). The surface modification was carried out by on-column copolymerization of N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]acrylamide methyl chloride-quaternary salt (DMAPAA-Q) with 3-methacryloxypropyl moieties bonded as an anchor to the silica surface to form a strong anion exchange stationary phase. The columns were examined for their performance in liquid chromatography (LC) and capillary electrochromatography (CEC) separations of common anions. The ions were separated using 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 6.6. Evaluation by LC produced an average of 30,000 theoretical plates (33 cm column length) for the inorganic anions and nucleotides. Evaluation by CEC, using the same buffer, produced enhanced chromatographic performance of up to ca. 90,000 theoretical plates and a theoretical plate height of ca. 4 μm. Although reduced efficiency was observed for inorganic anions that were retained a long time, the results of this study highlight the potential utility of the DMAPAA-Q stationary phase for anion separations. Figure Micro-LC performance evaluation of a strong anion exchange silica monolith column, 100H-MOP-DMAPAA-Q, 33 cm in length, with a mobile phase of 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 2.8; linear velocity: u = 1.8 mm/s; UV-Vis detection at 254 nm.

Chiral separation of basic compounds on a cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate-coated zirconia monolithin basic eluents by capillary electrochromatography

Porous zirconia monolith (ZM) modified with cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate (CDMPC) was used as chiral stationary phase to separate basic chiral compounds in capillary electrochromatography. The electroosmotic flow behavior of bare and CDMPC-modified zirconia monolithic (CDMPC-ZM) column was studied in ACN/phosphate buffer eluents of pH ranging from 2 to 12. The CDMPC-ZM column was evaluated by investigating the influences of pH, the type and composition of organic modifier of the eluent on enantioseparation. CEC separations at pH 9 provided the best resolutions for the analytes studied, which are better than those observed on CDMPC-modified silica monolithic columns under similar chromatographic conditions. No appreciable decline in retention and resolution factors after over 200 injections, and run-to-run and day-to-day repeatabilities of the column of less than 3% indicate the stability of the zirconia monolithic column in basic media.     

Acrylate ester-based monolithic columns for capillary electrochromatography separation of triacylglycerols in vegetable oils

A simple and reliable method for the evaluation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in vegetable oils by capillary electrochromatography (CEC) with UV-Vis detection, using octadecyl acrylate (ODA) ester-based monolithic columns, has been developed. The percentages of the porogenic solvents in the polymerization mixture, and the mobile phase composition, were optimized. The optimum monolith was obtained at the following ratios: 40:60% (wt/wt) monomers/porogens, 60:40% (wt/wt) ODA/1,3-butanediol diacrylate and 23:77% (wt/wt) 1,4-butanediol/1-propanol (14 wt% 1,4-butanediol in the polymerization mixture). A satisfactory resolution between TAGs was achieved in less than 12 min with a 65:35 (v/v) acetonitrile/2-propanol mixture containing 5 mM ammonium acetate. The method was applied to the analysis of TAGs of vegetable oil samples. Using linear discriminant analysis of the CEC TAG profiles, the vegetable oils belonging to six different botanical origins (corn, extra virgin olive, hazelnut, peanut, soybean and sunflower) were correctly classified with an excellent resolution among all the categories.     

Preparation and evaluation of zirconia-coated silica monolith for capillary electrochromatography

Silica monoliths were fabricated inside fused-silica capillaries. Then the monolithic columns were coated with membrane-like zirconia. The zirconia-coated silica monoliths exhibited different EOF behavior comparing with that of bare silica monoliths. The magnitude and direction could be manipulated by changing the running buffers. Due to the amphoteric characteristic of zirconia, the silica monoliths with zirconia surface facilitate the separation of basic compounds. Aromatic amines and alkaloids were separated without obvious peak tailing. The zirconia surface was easily modified with octadecylphosphonic acid for the separation of neutral compounds. Column efficiency as high as 90,000 and 80,000 m⁻¹ was obtained for beberine and naphthalene, respectively. Furthermore, the zirconia coating increased the stability of the monolithic columns. Even after being exposed to severe condition, there was no apparently efficiency decrease for the test samples.
