Abstract

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) packed with β-cyclodextrin columns eluted by reversed phase or fluorous phase shows excellent discrimination of fluorous tags. β-Cyclodextrin columns are superior to fluorous silica gel columns in view of efficient separation of compounds bearing short (CF3) to long (C9F19) tag.

SUMICHIRAL OA-7000 series are sold by Sumika Chemical Analysis Service. Catalog about SUMICHIRAL OA-7000 series: Welcome to SUMICHIRAL OA third edition. URL: http://www.scas.co.jp/.

7

SUMICHIRAL OA-7000 is the column with unmodified β-CD bonded to the silica gel via saccharide (glucuroyl gluconoyl group) spacer; SUMICHIRAL OA-7100 is the column with unmodified β-CD bonded to the silica gel via alkyl group spacer; SUMICHIRAL OA-7500 is the column with β-CD, in which hydroxyl group is protected by methyl group, bonded to the silica gel via alkyl group spacer.

Fluorinated sulfonamides (PhSO2NHCH2CnFn+1, n = 1, 3, 7) were also separated with OA-7000 or OA-7100 (mobile phase: gradient of MeOH/H2O).

Retention time of esters 1a-c was as follows; 1a: 19.1 min, 1b: 28.6 min, 1c: 39.2 min.
