Substituent effects on chiral resolutions of derivatized 1‐phenylalkylamines by heptakis(2,3‐di‐O‐methyl‐6‐O‐tert‐butyldimethylsilyl)‐β‐cyclodextrin GC stationary phase

Chiral resolutions of trifluoroacetyl‐derivatized 1‐phenylalkylamines with different type and position of substituent were investigated by capillary gas chromatography by using heptakis(2,3‐di‐O‐methyl‐6‐O‐tert‐butyldimethylsilyl)‐β‐cyclodextrin diluted in OV‐1701 as a chiral stationary phase. The influence of column temperature on retention and enantioselectivity was examined. All enantiomers of meta‐substituted analytes as well as fluoro‐substituted analytes could be resolved. Temperature had a favorable influence on enantioselectivity for small amines with substituents at the ortho‐position. The type of substituent at the stereogenic center of amines also had a crucial effect as the ethyl group led to poor enantioseparation. Among all analytes studied, trifluoroacetyl‐derivatized 1‐(2′‐fluorophenyl)ethylamine exhibited baseline resolution with the shortest analysis time.     

MALDI AND FAB MASS SPECTROMETRY OF NUCLEOSIDE TRIPHOSPHATES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Abstract

Comparison of MALDI and FAB mass spectra of dATP, dTTP, dCTP, and dGTP shows that the former technique gives clear molecular ions with minimal fragmentation whereas the latter gives more fragment ions and weaker parent peaks.
