Chromatographic indices

Solution viscosity measurements have sometimes been utilized as qioality control tests for this polymer. Chromatographs of three samples that showed Identical intrinsic viscosities (0.8 g/dl) in toluene are shown in Figure 9. These chromatographs indicate that the identical viscosities are the result of different combinations of high and low MW components. These three polymer samples probably have significantly different physical properties and if viscosity measurments alone are utilized for quality control purposes, they may be quite misleading. 

AM columns are another means of measuring lipophilic characteristics of drug candidates and other chemicals [99-103]. 1AM columns may better mimic membrane interactions than the isotropic octanol-water or other solvent-solvent partitioning system. These chromatographic indices appear to be a significant predictor of passive absorption through the rat intestine [128].

Finally, it is worth mentioning a study in which chromatographic indices on IAMs were determined for 13 local anesthetics [22] (Table 5.2). Regression analysis result-... 

Amino-5-deoxy-D-xylopyranose (17) has the structure of a cyclic a-amino alcohol and should, accordingly, react with nucleophiles, leading to a-amino alkylation. " These reactions generally proceed under acid catalysis, and are only applicable to 17 if they provide rapid formation of stable products otherwise, rearrangement to 22 results. The condensation of 17 with o-aminobenzaldehyde at pH 5 gives the quinazolinium derivative (36), isolated as a red, crystalline picrate. This reaction serves as a specific chromatographic indicator for 16 17. 

RP-TLC and HPLC provide a variety of descriptors that can be used as lipophilicity indices. Among them, extrapolated capacity factors often lead to 1 1 correlation with octanol-water log P. On the other hand, isocratic capacity factors need fewer experiments to be determined however, they depend strongly on chromatographic conditions. The CHI combines easy and rapid measurements with a uniform lipophilicity scale. However, both h-pophilicity and reversed-phase chromatographic retention are composite phenomena and, consequently, their resemblance cannot always be anticipated. Because standard reference sets cannot be available for all strucmrally diverse compounds, a comparison between chromatographic indices and octanol-water log P within the series of the investigated compounds is still indispensable.

Are the Chromatographic retention indices not shape dependent It appears that the retention indices of benzenoids should not be viewed as a shape-dependent property, despite the fact that the regressions of the Chromatographic indices were improved by the use of L/B. We can justify this claim by comparing the regressions using molecular descriptors that characterize better molecular shape than L/B. If the... 

A comparison with the corresponding values of equations (3)-(5) shows that the descriptors D, D, D, in which the atoms in the interior as well as those at the periphery contribute, are superior in describing Chromatographic indices of benzenoids. The superiority of over 5 descriptors becomes even more pronounced if we limit the analysis only to peri-condensed benzenoids for which the descriptors "D and differ. In Table 27 we compare the regressions using the shape descriptors and the full descriptors... 

How does the polarity of the mobile phase affect chromatograms Chromatography is a technique in which a moving phase transports and separates the components of a mixture. A chromatograph is created by recording the intensity of each component carried in the moving phase versus time. The peak intensities on the chromatograph indicate the amount of each component present in the mixture.

The standard for measuring the BTU content of natural gas has been the calorimeter. A comparison of the calorimeter with an on-line gas chromatograph indicates that the calorimeter is capable of equivalent accuracy to that of the ehromatograph, but is much slower to respond. As indicated by Figure 5, the calorimeter exhibits a lag in its response to fast changing BTU values. Often referred to as a dead-band , this lag was responsible for an average deviation between instraments of -t—1 BTU/SCF.
