Chromatographic investigations of furocoumarins fromHeracleum genus fruits

Summary Furocoumarins from extracts ofHeracleum genus fruits were separated using normal and reversed phase TLC and HPLC and isolated in the milligram scale using overloaded systems of column chromatography. Binary or ternary solvents containing a polar modifier (methanol, diisopropyl ether or acetonitrile) were used as the mobile phases. Preliminary report on this work was presented at the 47th International Congress of Pharmaceutical Sciences of F.I.P. in Amsterdam. The Netherlands, 30 August–5 September 1987.     

Enantioselective separations by capillary GC on derivatized cyclodextrins. Part 2: Determination of enantiomeric excess of some racemic 2,3-isopropylidene-1,2,3-cyclohexanetriol derivatives on permethyl α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins

Capillary GC on permethyl α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins has been applied to separate and quantify the enantiomers of some 2,3-iso-propylidene-1,2,3-cyclohexanetriol derivatives. Quantitative CGC data are compared to those obtained with chiral shift ¹H NMR.     

Enhanced chromatographic resolution of amine enantiomers as carbobenzyloxy derivatives in high-performance liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography

The carbobenzyloxy (cbz) protecting group is evaluated for it's potential to enhance the resolution of chiral amine enantiomers using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). A series of cbz derivatives of commercially available racemates was prepared and analyzed by enantioselective chromatography using a variety of mobile phases and polysaccharide and Pirkle-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs). The cbz-derivatized product consistently demonstrated enhanced chiral resolution under HPLC and SFC conditions. Improved selectivity and resolution combined with an automated preparative HPLC or SFC system can lead to the rapid generation of highly purified enantiomers of desirable starting materials, intermediates or final products.

Controlled-porosity glasses as alternative adsorbents to silica gel for HPLC

Summary The paper deals with the use of controlled-porosity glasses (CPGs) as adsorbents for HPLC. The physicochemical and chromatographic properties of small-pore CPGs are compared to the analogous properties of silica gels. The results show good correlation between them and suggest the possibility of application of CPGs as adsorbents for liquid chromatography.     

Direct separation of the enantiomers of cetirizine and related compounds by reversed-phase chiral HPLC

Summary Direct separations of the enantiomers of cetirizine and related compounds have been achieved by reversed-phase HPLC on the Chiralcel OD-R, a polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phase; the mobile phase was usually perchlorate solution supplemented with acetonitrile. Resolution of the enantiomers of cetirizine and related compounds was good. The effect of the acetonitrile content of the mobile phase was investigated, and the effect of the structure of the chiral compounds on their behavior on the Chiralcel OD-R column is discussed.     

Liquid chromatographic enantiomer resolution of N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl alpha-amino acids and their ester derivatives on polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phases

The liquid chromatographic enantiomer separation of N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC) protected alpha-amino acids and their ethyl ester derivatives was performed on polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phases, Chiralcel OD, Chiralpak AD, and Chiralpak AS. In general, Chiralcel OD and Chiralpak AD showed good performance for resolution of N-FMOC alpha-amino acids and their ethyl esters, respectively. All investigated N-FMOC alpha-amino acid enantiomers were baseline separated on Chiralcel OD or Chiralpak AD, whereas N-FMOC alpha-amino acid ethyl ester enantiomers were baseline resolved (alpha = 1.15-3.03) on Chiralpak AD, except for two analytes. The L-enantiomers of all examined FMOC alpha-amino acid ethyl ester derivatives are preferentially retained on Chiralpak AD, while the elution orders of the other enantiomer separations are not consistent.     

Statistical-overlap theory for elliptical zones of high aspect ratio in comprehensive two-dimensional separations

The low prediction by statistical-overlap theory of the numbers of singlets and peaks in two-dimensional separations containing zones represented by either circles of small number or eccentric ellipses of any number is shown to result from use of probability expressions for unbound spaces of infinite extent. An exact theory is derived for the probability of singlet formation in a reduced two-dimensional space of unit length, width, and area. The probability is a weighted sum of the probabilities of singlet formation in the interior, edge, and corner regions of the space, which depend only on saturation. The weighting factors are the fractions of area associated with each region and depend on the number of zones, the aspect ratio, the saturation, and the ellipse's spatial orientation. The average numbers of doublets, triplets, and peaks in the space are approximated by combining these results with Roach's equations describing the clustering of circles in an unbound two-dimensional space. Simulations show that theory predicts the number of singlets, doublets, triplets, and peaks, when the number of zones is 25 or more, the aspect ratio is 100 or less, and the saturation is 2 or less. The relationship is derived between the aspect ratios of ellipses in the reduced space and actual separation space. Calculations are presented for comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography.
