Chiral Derivatizing Agents Aid Enantioseparation of Amino Acids
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (Roorkee, India) prepared chiral dichloro- and monochloro s-triazines by nucleophilic displacement of chlorine atoms in s-triazine chloride and its 6-methoxy derivative with various amino acid amides.
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (Roorkee, India) prepared chiral dichloro- and monochloro s-triazines by nucleophilic displacement of chlorine atoms in s-triazine chloride and its 6-methoxy derivative with various amino acid amides. The diastereomers were then separated using reversed-phase liquid chromatography with a C18 column and an acetonitrile-aqueous trifluoroacetic acid mobile phase. The researchers found that the dichloro s-triazine reagents enabled better diastereomer separation than the monochloro s-triazines.
RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
