Packings for liquid chromatography, process for preparing and usage
View Patent ↗The present invention provides packings for high performance liquid chromatography whose residual silanol groups are extremely reduced and which remarkably prevent tailing of basic compounds. Endcapping agents represented by the following general formula [II] are reacted in liquid phases or gas phases with silica gel which is surface-modified with chemical modifying agents to link the endcapping agents to the residual silanol groups on the silica gel surface. In the formula, R 3 and R 4 , the same or different, are alkyl having one to four carbon atoms, and n is the factor of structural unit and an integer of 2 to 10.
1. A process for preparing a packing for liquid chromatography characterized in that an endcapping agent represented by the following general formula [II] is reacted in a liquid phase or a gas phase with silica gel which is surface-modified with a chemical modifying agent to link the endcapping agent to a residual silanol group on the silica gel surface,
wherein R 3 and R 4 , the same or different, are alkyl having one to four carbon atoms, and n is the factor of structural unit and an integer of 2 to 10.
2. A process for preparing a packing for liquid chromatography characterized in that an endcapping agent represented by the following general formula [II] is reacted in a liquid phase or a gas phase with silica gel which is surface-modified with alkylsilane represented by the following general formula [I] to link the endcapping agent to a residual silanol group on the silica gel surface,
wherein X 1 is hydrogen, halogen or alkoxyl having one to four carbon atoms, R 0 , R 1 and R 2 , the same or different, are alkyl or aryl, “a” is the factor of R 0 and an integer of 0 to 3, “b” is the factor of R 1 and an integer of 0 to 3, “c” is the factor of R 2 and an integer of 0 to 3, and “d” is the factor of X 1 and an integer of 1 to 3, and these have a relation: a+b+c+d=4,
wherein R 3 and R 4 , the same or different, are alkyl having one to four carbon atoms, and n is the factor of structural unit and an integer of 2 to 10.
3. The process for preparing the packing for liquid chromatography as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the alkyl as R 0 , R 1 and R 2 of the general formula [I] has aryl, amino or cyano at its terminal portion or has amide, carbamate, carbamide, ester or carbonate at its non-terminal portion.
