Orthogonal selectivity

Multidimensional chromatography brings together separations often based on different selectivity mechanisms. Although the forms of the mobile phase are not required to be different in the individual steps of a multidimensional separation, we usually strive to achieve orthogonal selectivity of these individual separation steps (1). 

While chromatographic peak capacity is not adequate to resolve hundreds of thousands of components, many researchers argue that MS itself is an additional separation dimension with an orthogonal selectivity (separation is based on mass-to-charge ratio). Therefore, the combined resolution of LC and MS is greater than the chromatographically defined peak capacity. The question therefore stands What is the achievable peak capacity of the 2DLC-MS/MS system ... 

Additional modes of HPTC include normal phase, where the stationary phase is relatively polar and the mobile phase is relatively nonpolar. Silica, diol, cyano, or amino bonded phases are typically used as the stationary phase and hexane (weak solvent) in combination with ethyl acetate, propanol, or butanol (strong solvent) as the mobile phase. The retention and separation of solutes are achieved through adsorp-tion/desorption. Normal phase systems usually show better selectivity for positional isomers and can provide orthogonal selectivity compared with classical RPLC. Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC), first reported by Alpert in 1990, is potentially another viable approach for developing separations that are orthogonal to RPLC. In the HILIC mode, an aqueous-organic mobile phase is used with a polar stationary phase to provide normal phase retention behavior. Typical stationary phases include silica, diol, or amino phases. Diluted acid or a buffer usually is needed in the mobile phase to control the pH and ensure the reproducibility of retention times. The use of HILIC is currently limited to the separation of very polar small molecules. Examples of applications... 

They found that combination of the Ir(T) catalyzed C-H borylation and Suzuki coupling sequence led to a two-step, one-pot C-H Suzuki arylation that enabled direct transformation of the N-Boc pyrrole to the C3 arylated intermediate in 78% yield. Following installation of the required acyl group, an application of their oxidative Pd-catalyzed C-H alkenylation reaction enabled formation of the key structural architecture of the natural deliver the natural product. The orthogonal selectivity characteristics displayed by these C-H functionalization processes makes possible iterative functionalization of the heteroaromatic pyrrole core. Utilization of the highly versatile C-H borylation - Suzuki coupling to install the aromatic functionality opens up possibilities of facile analogue synthesis via this route. 

An example of an ordered separation in which the required sample dimensionality fits the separation dimensionality is shown in Figure 1. And since the combination of the individual (orthogonal) selectivities toward the... 

The two combined methods must exhibit completely independent separation criteria, or in other words they must have orthogonal selectivities. 

If we have to clarify the heterogeneity of an unknown sample, the sample must be examined on various columns with orthogonal selectivity to ensure that a possible co-elution is not overlooked. Selection of these columns is best orientated on the key characteristics of the colunms, which were considered in Section 4.4. 

Column 4 With 2D experiments (see also Chapter 3) orthogonal selectivities are essential. For the given column types, the selection of a suitable mobile phase should not cause any major problems. 

Orthogonal selectivity in copper catalysts was found in the N- or O-arylations of aminoalcohols [446]. Further detailed mechanistic studies stated that the selectivity arises from the activation of the aryl halide and not from the formation of the nucleophile complex [444]. The most plausible mechanisms for the activation of the aryls are a SET or an lAT, depending on the electron donation by the Hgand... 

Because of its unique column chemistry, the Acclaim Mixed-Mode WAX-1 column provides complementary selectivity in comparison to a conventional reversed-phase column. During drug development a secondary LC method with significantiy different or even orthogonal selectivity is often required to complement the primary method, which typically uses a reversed-phase column. As shown in Figure 6.77, the Acclaim Mixed-Mode WAX-1 meets this requirement by providing a different elution order for aromatic acids that were taken as an... 

In this Section, we consider those rare cases where functional groups on the same molecule are of orthogonal selectivity, such as a nucleophilic group alongside an electrophilic one, such that spontaneous reactions would seem to be inevitable. 

When one separation mode is insufficient to separate all components in a sample, an additional separation principle, providing orthogonal selectivity, can be applied in a 2D separation system, similar to the 2D systems in TLC. 

First, cocktails of pure, high-quality compounds will reduce the number of screening points and will, therefore, reduce cost and increase speed. A full HTS of 64 000 compounds toward human cysteine protease cathepsin B has been compared with a screen with 10 compounds per well, which had been orthogonally selected [175]. The results of both strategies were comparable. 

Confirmation is the combination of two or more analyses that are in agreement with each other (ideally, using methods of orthogonal selectivity), at least one of which meets identification criteria). It is impossible to confirm the complete absence of residues. Adoption of a reporting limit at the LCL avoids the unjustifiably high cost of confirming the presence or absence, of residues at unnecessarily low levels. The nature and extent of confirmation required for a positive result depends upon importance of the result and the frequency with which similar residues are found.
