Column chromatography, introduction

The primary alcohol function was then used for the introduction of the second side chain via the aldehyde 123, the enone 124 and after reduction of the enone the mixture of the epimeric alcohols 125 and 126, which could be separated by pressure column chromatography. Structural assignment is not given. 

For an introduction to thin layer and gravity column chromatography, we separate the pigments from frozen spinach. This is one green experiment that is literally green. A number of variations of this classic procedure have been reported (P). We have made only minor changes in the procedure of Pavia and co-authors 9d). However, since we obtain the UVA is spectrum of the carotene isolated from the spinach, implementation of this experiment facilitates a discussion of ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy. 

During the final stages of the asymmetric total synthesis of antimitotic agents (+)- and (-)-spirotryprostatin B, the C8-C9 double bond had to be installed, and at the same time the carboxylic acid moiety removed from C8. R.M. Williams et al. found that the Kochi- and Suarez modified Hunsdiecker reaction using LTA or PIDA failed and eventually the Barton modification proved to be the only way to achieve this goal. After the introduction of the bromine substituent at C8, the C8-C9 double bond was formed by exposing the compound to sodium methoxide in methanol. This step not only accomplished the expected elimination but also epimerized the C12 position to afford the desired natural product as a 2 1 mixture of diastereomers at C12. The two diastereomers were easily separated by column chromatography. 

It is the aim of the following chapters to give a short introduction into the theory and to illustrate the present situation of ion pair chromatography on reversal-phase layers. The great success achieved with reversed-phases in column chromatography has resulted in the use of reversed-phase sorbents also in TLC.

There are several methods available for the extraction of bile salts from serum or plasma. The most convenient methods utilize some form of liquid-solid extraction. An early procedure involved the anion-exchange resin, Amberlyst A-26 (S8), but considerable time and effort was required to perform column chromatography and to concentrate the eluate from the column. The introduction in 1972 of the neutral resin, Amberlite XAD-2, improved the ease of extracting bile acids and their conjugates from serum samples (M6). Further improvement occurred in 1977 with the description of a batch extraction technique using the related neutral resin, Amberlite XAD-7 (B5). With this technique, serum is diluted in 0.1 M sodium hydroxide to release bile acids from albumin and mixed with resin for 1 hour. After washing the resin in dilute alkali, bile acids are eluted with methanol, which cdn be removed on a rotary evaporator (B5). 

The original reaction mentioned in the introduction is shown in Scheme 1. In the NMR of the reaction mixture, two apparently isomeric products could be identified in a ratio of ca. 9 1. In an attempt to separate them by column chromatography, the isomer ratio was inverted to 1 9. From this it was obvious that 4 was an intermediate and 5 was the final product. Compound 5 could be isolated and fully characterised, including by X-ray structural analysis. So it was concluded that the isomerisation consisted of a reductive elimination to form the... 

Over-pressure TLC (OPTLC) was introduced by Tyihak et al. in 1979 (13) m an attempt to combine the advantages of conventional TLC and HPLC. This technique employs the use of a pressurized circular ultra microchamber (PUM chamber), which houses a TLC plate and inlets for the introduction of sample and solvent onto the sorbent. The thin sorbent layer is covered by a membrane kept under external pressure so that the vapor phase above the sorbent is nearly eliminated. A substantially shorter time is required for separation than in conventional TLC and classical column chromatography (CC) and greater resolution and separation efficiency is achieved. The rate at which solvent migrates IS as stable as HPLC and consequently the technique can be used to model CC...
