A Phosphoric Acid Treated Reactive GLC Column for the Analysis of Long Chain Amides |
|
| Abstract: | Abstract The conversion of nonvolatile amides to more volatile nitriles on a reactive column was studied. It was found that pyrophosphoric acid was necessary for the conversion, that the amide reacts 100% on the first 6 inches of the column to produce one nitrile and 3 carboxylic acid groups for every 4 amide groups injected and that a quantitative analytical procedure is possible. |
