Chromatography, resolution

Figure 6.5 shows a chromatogram of Epikote 1004 using the KE-600 series and SYSTEM-24H (a newly developed GPC system used with the KF-600 series for full utilization of the efficiency of the downsized columns). Compared with conventional-sized columns such as the KF-800 series, the time of analysis is shortened to one-half and the chromatographie resolution is improved. 

Thick-layer silica gel chromatography can also be employed [7], although most separations are now accomplished by high-performance liquid chromatography. Resolution of complex mixtures often requires both normal and reverse phase modes [19]. A further dimension is added, when bioactivity is correlated with spectroscopically-monitored chromatographic profiles.

As in chromatography, resolution (R ) is a measure of separation between two components ... 

Normally, an equilibrium is formed, so that the ester serving as acyl source has to be employed in excess. The separation of the optically active esters, e.g., (S )-2 and (S)-4 from the unreacled alcohols (R)-l and (R)-3 may be effected by distillation or chromatography. Resolution of a-halocarboxylic acids can be achieved with lipase in butanol60. 

As in chromatography, resolution between closely spaced peaks A and B in an electio-pherogram is related to plate count, N, and separation factor, y, by Equation 23-30 resolution = (VA/4)(y — 1). The separation factor (y = anet /unetB) is the quotient of migration times tB/tA. Increasing y increases separation of peaks, and increasing N decreases their width. 

In molecular exclusion chromatography, resolution is directly related to the sample loading volume, since the higher the sample volume, the higher the volume in which the protein is eluted. Usually, sample volume should be 0.5-5% of the total bed volume. For volumes below 0.5% the sample becomes too diluted, while volumes above 5% work well only for molecules with large differences in size. For desalting, due to the pronounced difference in the molecular size of the components, sample volumes can reach up to 30% of the column capacity without a significant decrease in resolution.

Three elements interact in chromatography resolution, analysis speed and capacity. Any one component can be improved at the expense of the others. In analytical chromatography, sample capacity is not a priority resolution and speed are required. However, when performing preparative chromatography, sample capacity and resolution are important to obtain large amounts of pure compounds, therefore speed must be sacrificed. 

Independently (96TA285), atropisomers of 167 were resolved by chiral chromatography. Resolution using a chiral palladium complex resulted in the loss of the dimethylaminomethylene group and yielded the unsubstituted biindole derivative 168. The configurational stability of the atropi-someric form was not reported. 

Gas chromatography continuously evolved from the packed column, where resolution was more limited to capillary columns that significantly increase chromatographie resolution.
