High Performance LC
ReproSil Chiral-OH, 8 µm


The Reprosil Chiral-OH is specially designed for the chiral separation of aromatic alcoholic compounds. The OH-phase is based on the ultrapure Reprosil 100 Silica. The chiral selector, an aromatic compound, is covalently bound to an 8 µm silica.
Most successfully separated chiral compounds are:
1.) aromatic and
2.) have an OH-group at the chiral centre.




         
  Due to the 100A° pores and the big surface area of 350 m2/g the phase has an excellent preparative capacity. With a 250 x 10 mm column one can separate 50 – 250 mg / injection and with a 250 x 20 mm column 250 – 1000 mg/ injection.
The phase is stable in all commonly used normal phase eluents. Typical eluents are mixtures of Hexane and 2-Propanol. The best pH-range is between 2 und 7. The columns are stable up to 300 bar.
The peak shape of acids can be improved with 0,1 % acetic acid, the peak shape of bases with 0,1 % TEA. With 0,01% Ammonium Acetate a good peak shape can be achieved both with acids and with bases.

Examples for Separations:
The most commonly used column dimension is 250 x 4.6 mm with a flow of 1,5 ml / min

  Method development for Normal-Phase Separations:      
  1.) Start off with a mixture of Hexane / IPA (90/10).
2.) If the RT is too short, add less IPA; if the RT is too long, add more IPA.
3.) Peak-Tailing
with acids: use 0,1 % Acetic acid,
with bases: use 0,1 % TEA.
You can improve the peak shapes in both cases with 0,01 % Ammonium acetate.
4.) The method can be further optimized by replacing Hexane with Heptane and / or IPA with Ethanol.
