Gas chromatography of homologous esters

Abstract The gas chromatographic retention behaviour of the butanoyl and 2-, 3- and 4-chlorobutanoyl esters of C 3 —C 5 saturated aliphatic branched-chain and unsaturated C 3 —C 6 alcohols on SE-30 and OV-351 glass capillary columns operated iso-thermally at several temperatures is reported. Retention index increments at 80, 120 and 160°C show the effects of chain branching and the olefinic and acetylenic unsaturation in the alkyl chain and the effect of the position of the chlorine substituent in the acyl chain. The results are compared with the behaviour of the corresponding n -alkyl esters and the chlorinated propanoyl esters.

Gas chromatography of homologous esters

Abstract The retention behaviour of C 1 C 18 n -alkyl esters of butanoic 2-, 3- and 4-chlorobutanoic acids was examined isothermally at several temperatures on SE-30 and OV-351 capillary columns. Retention increments showing the effects of each position of chlorine substitution are presented. The considerable enhancement of terminal chlorine substitution is discussed together with the corresponding behaviour of the monochloropropanoate esters.

Retention increments of isomeric chlorobenzenes

The chlorobenzene isomers are used extensively as intermediates in a wide range of chemical products. More recently their determination in environmental situations has become of considerable importance and chromatographic procedures have been widely reported for their determination in both trace and major amounts. There are over 220 publications in which gas chromatography (GC) has been applied to the analysis of chlorobenzene. However, over 60 o/o of these works refer to the separation of only one isomer. Relatively few publications’-8 consider all the isomers, although the use of both capillary3’ and packedcolumns with polar and non-polar stationary phases has been reported. Temperature p…

Gas chromatography of homologous esters

Abstract The gas chromatographic retention behaviour of the propanoyl and monochloropropanoyl esters of saturated C3C5 branched-chain and unsaturated C3C6 alcohols on SE-30 and OV-351 capillary columns at several temperatures is reported. Retention index increments at 80 and 120°C show the effect of branching in the alkyl chain and also the effect of unsaturation and of its position in the chain with chlorination at the two possible positions in the acyl chain. The various incremental effects are discussed and compared with the behaviour of the corresponding n-alkyl esters.
