Column chromatography solvents

Several methods have been used to separate the daughter nuclide " Tc from parent Mo, the three most common methods are column chromatography, solvent extraction, and sublimation (Boyd 1982 Richards 1982). 

In conventional open column chromatography, solvent is gravity fed onto a column of large ( 150-250 pm) particles, and the components of the mixture are then carried through the packed column by the eluant, separation being achieved by differential distribution of the sample components between the stationary and mobile phases. However, open column classical liquid chromatography suffers from a number of disadvantages, for example ...

Preparation of soil—sediment of water samples for herbicide analysis generally has consisted of solvent extraction of the sample, followed by cleanup of the extract through Uquid—Uquid or column chromatography, and finally, concentration through evaporation (285). This complex but necessary series of procedures is time-consuming and is responsible for the high cost of herbicide analyses. The advent of soUd-phase extraction techniques in which the sample is simultaneously cleaned up and concentrated has condensed these steps and thus gready simplified sample preparation (286). 

Instmmental methods of analysis provide information about the specific composition and purity of the amines. QuaUtative information about the identity of the product (functional groups present) and quantitative analysis (amount of various components such as nitrile, amide, acid, and deterruination of unsaturation) can be obtained by infrared analysis. Gas chromatography (gc), with a Hquid phase of either Apiezon grease or Carbowax, and high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc), using siHca columns and solvent systems such as isooctane, methyl tert-huty ether, tetrahydrofuran, and methanol, are used for quantitative analysis of fatty amine mixtures. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr), both proton ( H) and carbon-13 ( C), which can be used for quaHtative and quantitative analysis, is an important method used to analyze fatty amines (8,81). 

In classical column chromatography the usual system consisted of a polar adsorbent, or stationary phase, and a nonpolar solvent, mobile phase, such as a hydrocarbon. In practice, the situation is often reversed, in which case the technique is known as reversed-phase Ic. 

MICROWAVE-ASSISTED SOLVENT EXTRACTION AND A NEW METHOD FOR ISOLATION OF TOTAL PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS (TPH) FROM PLANTS WITH COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY (SILICA GEL AND ALUMINA) AND DETERMINATION WITH SPECTROFLUOROPHOTOMETRY... 

Microwave extraction realized at 120 °C for 30 min with Hexane -Acetone (3 2 V/V) as the extraction solvent was identified as the most effective extraction procedure for isolation of TPH from biotic matrices. The aim of this research is to develop a silica gel and alumina fractionation procedure for plant sample extraction. Column chromatography with two solvents (chloroform and hexane dichloromethane) as a mobile phase were used for clean-up of extract. In this research the efficiency of recovery received from chloroform as a mobile phase. 

Column Chromatography. The substances to be purified are usually placed on the top of the column and the solvent is run down the column. Fractions are collected and checked for compounds using TLC (UV and/or other means of visualisation). The adsorbent for chromatography can be packed dry and solvents to be used for chromatography are used to equilibrate the adsorbent by flushing the column several times until equilibration is achieved. Alternatively, the column containing the adsorbent is packed wet (slurry method) and pressure is applied at the top of the column until the column is well packed (i.e. the adsorbent is settled).

Purified by column chromatography, differential soln and pptn in solvent mixtures and differential partition between diphasic mixtures. The product has at least 6 components as observed by TLC.

Toluene is a useful co-solvent in metal-ammonia reductions as first reported by Chapman and his colleagues. The author has found that a toluene-tetrahydrofuran-ammonia mixture (1 1 2) is a particularly useful medium for various metal-ammonia reductions. Procedure 8a (section V) describes the reduction of 17-ethyl-19-nortestosterone in such a system. Ethylene dibromide is used to quench excess lithium. Trituration of the total crude reduction product with methanol affords an 85% yield of 4,5a-dihydro-17-ethyl-19-nortestosterone, mp 207-213° (after sintering at 198°), reported mp 212-213°. For the same reduction using Procedure 5 (section V), Bowers et al obtained a 60% yield of crude product, mp, 196-199°, after column chromatography of the total reduction product. A similar reduction of 17-ethynyl-19-nortestosterone is described in Procedure 8b (section V). The steroid concentration in the toluene-tetrahydrofuran-ammonia system is 0.05 M whereas in the ether-dioxane-ammonia system it is 0.029 M. 

Regarding the color, we only see a need for colorless ionic liquids in very specific applications (see above). One easy treatment that often reduces coloration quite impressively, especially of imidazolium ionic liquids, is purification by column chromatography/filtration over silica 60. For this purification method, the ionic liquid is dissolved in a volatile solvent such as CFF2C12. Usually, most of the colored impurities stick to the silica, while the ionic liquid is eluted with the solvent. By repetition of the process several times, a seriously colored ionic liquid can be converted into an almost completely colorless material. 

A solution of dimethyl 3-acetyl-3-azatetracyclo[3.2.0.02-7.04 6]heptane-l,5-dicarboxylate (2, R1 = Ac R = H), formed by the photolysis (14 h 125-W Hg lamp under N2) of dimethyl 7-acetyl-7-azabicyclo-[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-2,3-dicarboxylate (1 R1 = Ac, R2 = H 1 g, 4mmol) in Et20 (400 mL) at — 40 C, was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue (0.7 g, 2.8 mmol) was dissolved in CHC1, and the solution heated under reflux for 1 h. Evaporation of the solvent yielded the crude product which was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, C,H2C12). The yellow fractions were collected and, after removal of the solvent, the residual oil was distilled in a sublimation apparatus to give 3 (R1 = Ac R2 = H) as a yellow oil yield 0.8 g (80%) bp 50 60 C/5 x 10 4 Torr. 

Method A A solution of the azidoquinoline (5 mmol) in 3M KOMe in MeOH (40 mL) and dioxane (40 mL) was irradiated under N2 using a water-cooled, 125-W medium-pressure Hg lamp until all the azide [as measured by the disappearance of u(N3) at 2120 cm" 1 or by TLC] had reacted (4-10h). The photolysate was left to stand at 20 C for 24h then neutralized cautiously by the addition of 4M IICI in MeOH. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified initially by column chromatography on alumina (Type H, toluene), then finally by crystallization (petroleum ether).
