HPLC Method for Analysis of Chloroacetic acid, Dichloroacetic acid and Trichloroacetic acid on BIST™ A+ Column

July 7, 2022

Separation type: Bridge Ion Separation Technology, or BIST™ by SIELC Technologies

HPLC Method for Analysis of  Chloroacetic acid, Dichloroacetic acid and Trichloroacetic acid on BIST™ A+ Column
HPLC Method for Analysis of Chloroacetic acid, Dichloroacetic acid and Trichloroacetic acid on BIST™ A+ Column

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Chloroacetic acid, Dichloroacetic acid and Trichloroacetic acid

Chloroacetic acid is a popular building block in organic syntheses. Dichloroacetic acid and Trichloroacetic acid are frequently used in cosmetic treatments to remove tattos and in chemical peels, as well as topical medication for the ablation of warts. Using SIELC’s newly introduced BIST™ method, a mixture of these three aicds can be separated on a negatively-charged, cation-exchange BIST™ A+ column, contrary to conventional chromatographic wisdom. There are two keys to this retention method: 1) a multi-charged, positive buffer, such as N,N,N’,N’-Tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine (TMDAP), which acts as a bridge, linking the negatively-charged anion analytes to the negatively-charged column surface and 2) a mobile phase consisting mostly of organic solvent (such as MeCN) to minimize the formation of a solvation layer around the charged analytes. Other positively-charged buffers that can generate BIST™ include Calcium acetate and Magnesium acetate. Using this new and unique analysis method, these anions can be separated, retained, and detected with a Conductivity Detector.

Analyzing CompoundsChloroacetic acid, Dichloroacetic acid and Trichloroacetic acid

Application Column

BIST A+

BIST™ columns offer a unique and effective way to achieve separations that were traditionally challenging or even impossible with other HPLC columns. With the use of a special mobile phase, these ion exchange columns provide very strong retention for analytes with the same charge polarity as the stationary phase, unlocking new chromatography applications. What makes BIST™ columns stand out is their proprietary surface chemistry, which results in superior selectivity, resolution, and sensitivity. These columns offer a simple, efficient solution for a variety of analytical challenges, making them an excellent choice for researchers and analysts across many different fields.

Acetic acid and its various chloro- and bromo- forms are widely used in organic chemistry.  Their similar structure makes the acids difficult to retain and separate on reverse-phase HPLC columns.  By using Newcrom BH mixed-mode column which also has ion-exchange properties, the separation can be achieved with a simple isocratic method and relatively short time with a mobile phase of acetonitrile (ACN), water and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) buffer.  UV detection at 200nm.

Condition

Column Newcrom BH, 4.6×150 mm, 5 µm, 100A
Mobile Phase MeCN/H2O – 10/90%
Buffer H2SO4 – 0.3%
Flow Rate 1.0 ml/min
Detection UV 200nm

Description

Class of Compounds Acid
Analyzing Compounds Acetic acid, Chloroacetic acid,  Bromoacetic acid, Difluoroacetic acid, Unknown, Dichloroacetic acid, Bromochloroacetic acid, Dibromoacetic acid

Application Column

Newcrom BH

The Newcrom columns are a family of reverse-phase-based columns. Newcrom A, AH, B, and BH are all mixed-mode columns with either positive or negative ion-pairing groups attached to either short (25 Å) or long (100 Å) ligand chains. Newcrom R1 is a special reverse-phase column with low silanol activity.

Separation of Chloroacetic acid on Newcrom R1 HPLC column

February 16, 2018
Separation of Chloroacetic acid on Newcrom C18 HPLC column

Chloroacetic acid can be analyzed by this reverse phase (RP) HPLC method with simple conditions. The mobile phase contains an acetonitrile (MeCN), water, and phosphoric acid. For Mass-Spec (MS) compatible applications the phosphoric acid needs to be replaced with formic acid. Smaller 3 µm particles columns available for fast UPLC applications. This liquid chromatography method is scalable and can be used for isolation impurities in preparative separation. It also suitable for pharmacokinetics.
